1. 3 Tips to Effective Communication:
1. Listen Carefully - This allows the listener to grasp and understand what the speaker
is trying to say. When a person listens carefully, he or she can notice the tone of the
speaker (whether the speaker is happy, sad, angry, disappointed, embarrassed, etc.) and
how he or she tells the message or story through actions (body language). That way, the
listener would be able to know the appropriate response since the listener is giving his
or her full attention to the speaker. This also avoids the speaker from getting distracted
by unnecessary things that could lead the conversation to a misunderstanding.
2. Affirm the Feeling - Giving validations to the speaker plays an important role in
effective communication. This indicates that the speaker is heard, acknowledged, and
understood. It gives encouragement to the speaker to share and open up more even if
the listener doesn't necessarily agree with him or her. It still shows respect and support
for what the speaker is feeling, and one way of doing this is by mirroring back or
paraphrasing what the speaker said.
3. Ask Open Ended Questions - This is a crucial tip to deepen the conversation
between the listener and the speaker. Not only does it make the speaker talk more, but
it can also create an interactive discussion that would reach to a mutual agreement.
Asking open ended questions can most likely prolong the conversation because it can
lead to other topics that are related as well.
