Abstract	Personality, defined as the dynamic organisation of psychophysical systems within an individual that determines characteristic patterns of behaviour, thought, and emotion (Allport, 1961), is not a static construct. Rather, it evolves continuously through biological maturation, environmental interactions, and, critically, communicative experience. Among the various environmental factors that shape personality, communication stands out as perhaps the most pervasive and potent (DeVito, 2019). Communication pervades every dimension of human existence from the infant's first cry to the executive's boardroom address. It mediates relationships, constructs identity, regulates emotion, and transmits cultural values. Scholars across disciplines have long recognised that the manner in which individuals communicate both reflects and reinforces their personality characteristics. However, the converse proposition that intentional development of communication skills actively shapes and transforms personality has received comparatively less systematic investigation.
