Having completed two full degrees, worked as a teacher, I became used to communicating with people. Talking, negotiating, persuading and all other techniques of talking were what I used to do earlier, and nowadays find no issues finding a common side even with strangers, making them comfortable talking with me.
I live in a big family where chores are everywhere and am well used to multitasking, as well as tense situations where things need to be done, no questions asked. Even as part of the team, I'd do my best to contribute as much as I can.
