Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills
Listen, listen, and listen.
People want to know that they are being heard. Really listen
to what the other person is saying, instead of formulating your response. Ask
for clarification to avoid misunderstandings. At that moment, the person
speaking to you should be the most important person in your life.
This is important for face-to-face meetings and video
conferencing. Make sure that you appear accessible, so have open body language.
This means that you should not cross your arms. And keep eye contact so that
the other person knows that you are paying attention.
Check your message
before you hit send.
Spell and grammar checkers are lifesavers, but they are not fool
proof. Double check what you have written, to make sure that your words are
communicating the intended message
Write things down.
Take notes while you
are talking to another person or when you are in a meeting, and do not rely on
your memory. Send a follow-up email to make sure that you understand what was
being said during the conversation.
Sometimes it’s better to pick up the
phone.
If you find
that you have a lot to say, instead of sending an email, call the person
instead. Email is great, but sometimes it is easier to communicate what you
have to say verbally.
Think before you
speak
Always pause before you speak, not saying the first thing
that comes to mind. Take a moment and pay close attention to what you say and
how you say it. This one habit will allow you to avoid embarrassments.
Treat everyone equally.
Do not talk
down to anyone, treating everyone with respect. Treat others as your equal.
