Top 5 Communication Skills that
Make You a Good Communicator
Definition of Communication
In communication, clear messages should be sent with no
confusion. Those who have effective communication skills are
good at expressing themselves and can clearly convey
information to their audience. They know how to listen and
they speak in such a way that makes people want to listen. If
you want to improve your communication skills and become
an effective communicator, you need to check out some of
these top 5 Effective Communication Skills that Make
You a Good Communicator.
There are many effective communication skills that you can
develop to make you a better communicator, both at work and
in your personal life. Some of these skills include public
speaking, asking questions, and listening to the person you’re
communicating with attentively. These skills are all very
important to becoming a good communicator, which allows
you to enjoy more personal success in your career as well as
develop new friendships and relationships in your personal
life.
The following are 5 of the most important
communication skills that make you an
effective communicator:-
1) Be open
Communication is a two-way street. If
you want to be an effective
communicator, it’s important to
remember that you can’t control how
others react to what you say. This
means that you need to be open: if there
are questions about your work or if
your colleagues aren’t responding in
ways you hoped, it might be because
they have another idea of what
happened or how your project should
proceed.
2) Be honest
Honesty is one of those traits in life that
people either have or don’t have. Either you’re
an honest person, or you’re not. But there are
many ways to be dishonest. If someone asks
you if they look fat in their dress, maybe, isn’t
really an answer.
3) Listen actively
People often tell me they’re already good
communicators because they can listen. I pay
attention, I just don’t speak much, they say.
The truth is, though, listening doesn’t mean
you’re a good communicator. It means you
know how to be quiet and not interrupt when
someone else is speaking.
4) Ask questions
The easiest way to communicate
effectively is to ask questions, then shut up
and listen. Asking open-ended questions
keeps people talking; even when they
don’t necessarily have an answer to your
question, it gives them an opportunity to
express themselves and helps you better
understand where they’re coming from.
Great communicators take pride in asking
questions—and letting other people do
most of the talking.
5) Follow up
In communication, clear messages
should be sent with no confusion.
Those who have strong communication
skills are good at expressing themselves
and can clearly convey information to
their audience. They know how to listen
and they speak in such a way that
makes people want to listen. If you
want to improve your communication
skills and become an effective
communicator, you need to check out
some of these tips
