OKR template to enhance communication skills and overcome shyness
This OKR focuses on enhancing communication skills and overcoming shyness. The goal is to become more comfortable in social and networking settings, allowing for better interactions with diverse individuals. This will be achieved through initiatives like attending networking events at least twice a month.
This objective also aims to extend this interaction online, by enrolling in an online course focused on public speaking and interpersonal communication skills. Completion and active participation in the course activities would testify to achieving this aimed outcome.
Weekly activities requiring public speaking and initiating conversations with strangers have also been outlined as initiatives towards overcoming shyness. Activities such as volunteering to present at local community meetings, enrolling in debate clubs, and striking up conversations with new people daily are some suggested ways.
To ensure accountability and measure progress, each outcome has been assigned a quantifiable score-format, with a 0-100% success scale. This will help track improvements in communication and confidence over time, thus helping achieve the broader objective.
