Every body born with different natural gifts, BUT these natural gifts need to be improved through different mechanism of learning such as education, training, exercises, motivation, practical experiences.....

It is a natural trait of course. Good communicators are mostly extrovert. They think about others, reading their minds, their likes and their needs/ requirements. They are mostly multitasking. Whereas on the other hand, being too much focused on a task sometime poses a disadvantage for the brainy sort of people as they tend to loose their contact with people around them. And they are thus regarded as bad communicators. Communication can be acquired thru learning without being a substitute for a natural talent.

The skill is partially natural, depending on your personality. More communication skills can always be acquired if you have the drive or need for them.

Its a natural trait that can be noticed in youngest years of childhood. A genius software programmer may never become a good public speaker despite training because he is simply not good at it.
