Good communication skills involve speaking clearly, listening actively, and understanding non-verbal cues. Speaking effectively means using proper grammar, logical organization, an appropriate pace, precise language, and strategies like rephrasing. Listening well requires paying attention, paraphrasing, synthesizing themes, and providing competent feedback. Non-verbal communication conveys approval, indifference, disbelief through facial expressions, eye contact, touch, space, and silence. Developing strong communication is important for building and maintaining relationships.
