The document also suggests proofreading messages before sending, being brief yet specific, taking notes rather than relying on memory, and thinking before speaking to avoid saying the first thing that comes to mind.

1. Listening
Being a good listener is one of the best ways to be a good communicaton
No one likes communicating with someone who only cares about putting in her two cents, and
does not take the time to listen to the other person. Instead, practice active listening. Active
listening involves paying close attention to what the other person is saying, asking clarifying
questions, and rephrasing what the person says to ensure understanding (\"So, what you\'re
saying is…\"). Through active listening, you can better understand what the other person is
trying to say, and can respond appropriately.
2. Nonverbal Communication
Your body language, eye contact, hand gestures, and tone all color the message you are trying to
convey. A relaxed, open stance (arms open, legs relaxed), and a friendly tone will make you
appear approachable, and will encourage others to speak openly with you. Eye contact is also
important; you want to look the person in the eye to demonstrate that you are focused on the
person and the conversation (however, be sure not to stare at the person, which can make him or
her uncomfortable).
Also pay attention to other people\'s nonverbal signals while you are talking. Often, nonverbal
signals convey how a person is really feeling. For example, if the person is not looking you in the
eye, he or she might be uncomfortable or hiding the truth.
3. Clarity and Concision
Try to convey your message in as few words as possible. Say what you want clearly and
directly, whether you\'re speaking to someone in person, on the phone, or via email. If you
ramble on, your listener will either tune you out or will be unsure of exactly what you want.
Think about what you want to say before you say it; this will help you to avoid talking
excessively and/or confusing your audience.
4. Friendliness
Through a friendly tone, a personal question, or simply a smile, you will encourage your
coworkers to engage in open and honest communication with you. This is important in both face-
to-face and written communication. When you can, personalize your emails to coworkers and/or
employees - a quick \"I hope you all had a good weekend\" at the start of an email can
personalize a message and make the recipient feel more appreciated.
5. Confidence
It is important to be confident in all of your interactions with others. Confidence ensures your
coworkers that you believe in and will follow through with what you are saying. Exuding
confidence can be as simple as making eye contact or using a firm but friendly tone (avoid
making statements sound like questions). Of course, be careful not to sound arrogant or
aggressive. Be sure you are always listening to and empathizing with the other person.
6. Empathy
Even when you disagree with an employer, coworker, or employee, it is important for you to
understand and respect their point of view. Using phrases as simple as \"I understand where you
are coming from\" demonstrate that you have been listening to the other person and re.

Week 7 Instructor Notes
W7N1: Project Communication Overview
Approximately 70 (and some say up to 90%) of a project manager’s time is spent communicating and over 50% of their time is spent in meetings. Of the time spent communicating, approximately 45% of the time should be spent listening and no more than 30% should be spent talking.
The following are interesting facts, from Dr. Don Wetmore, regarding communication:
· The average person uses 13 different ways to control and manage their time
· The average person gets 1 interruption every 8 minutes or approximately 7 an hour or 50-60 per day
· On an average day, there are 17 million meetings in America
· The average worker sends and receives 190 messages per day
· There will be 2 million marriages in this country this year and 1 million divorces. 95% of divorces are caused by a “lack of communication”.
· The average working person spends less than 2 minutes per day in meaningful communication with their spouse or “significant other”.
· The average working person spends less than 30 seconds a day in meaningful communication with their children.
Communication is important – in both our professional and personal lives!
W7N2 How People Communicate
Project managers need to be able to communicate precise messages, where the receiving party understands the context, motive and message itself. A basic communication model helps in understanding what communication means.
Communication is two-way – we transmit information for the purpose of it being received and understood. Both the sender and receiver are involved in communication! What we transmit can be affected by “noise”, meaning that the receiver of the message may have a distorted message – they may be receiving something different than what we think we sent. That might be caused by the way we are sending or by the way they are listening. To avoid misunderstandings, we need to confirm that our message was understood accurately. Noise can be caused by many factors, including language, culture, or emotion. Noise can block out a message so the information is either not heard at all or is distorted. We need to use feedback to verify that our communications are successful.
There are various strategies for ensuring that messages are understood correctly and different strategies are needed for different types of communication channels. In face-to-face communications we can evaluate tone and voice and use body language in augment our words. While you must be careful to read cues correctly, face-to-face communications generally presents an environment where it is a bit easier to ensure your message is properly received. Consider the following:
· Email communication is 100% words (emoticons are marginally non-verbal communication)
· Telephone communication is 18% words and 82% voice tone
· Face-to-Face communication is 55% body language, 38% voice tone and 7% words
Be certain to think about the communication method we use..

Active Listening.pptx
Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness and on the quality of your relationships with other people.
The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, the complete message being communicated.
CONSEQUENCES OF INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
1. Ineffective communication can lead to frustration for both parties as misunderstandings arise from an inability to clearly convey ideas and understand each other.
2. It also breeds misunderstanding as the main goal of communication is understanding, and lack of effective communication hinders this.
3. Ineffective communication damages trust in relationships, as insufficient details, poor listening, and not communicating important information can deteriorate relationships over time.

Active Listening.pptx
Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness and on the quality of your relationships with other people.
The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, the complete message being communicated.
CONSEQUENCES OF INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
1. Ineffective communication can lead to frustration for both parties as misunderstandings arise from an inability to clearly convey ideas and understand each other.
2. It also breeds misunderstanding as the main goal of communication is understanding, and lack of effective communication hinders this.
3. Ineffective communication damages trust in relationships, as insufficient details, poor listening, and not communicating important information can deteriorate relationships over time.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Tips to improve your Communication Skills.pptx
- 1. Tips to improve your Communication Skills
- 2. 1. 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. Another important point is to have one conversation at a time. This means that if you are speaking to someone on the phone, does not respond to an email, or send a text at the same time. The other person will know that she doesn’t have your undivided attention.
- 3. 2. Who you are talking to matters. It is okay to use acronyms and informal language when you are communicating with a bud but if you are emailing or texting your boss, “Hey,” “TTYL” or any informal language, has no place in your message. You cannot assume that the other person knows what the a means. Some acronyms have different meanings to different people, do you want to be misunderstood? Effective communicators target their message based on who they are sp to, so try to keep the other person in mind, when you are trying to get your message acros
- 4. 3. Body language matters. 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 not cross your arms. And keep eye contact so that the other person knows that you are paying attention.
- 5. 4. Check your message before you hit send. Spell and grammar checkers are lifesavers, but they are not foolproof. Double check what have written, to make sure that your words are communicating the intended message.
- 6. 5. Be brief, yet specific. For written and verbal communication, practice being brief yet specific enough, that you pr enough information for the other person to understand what you are trying to say. And if y are responding to an email, make sure that you read the entire email before crafting your response. With enough practice, you will learn not to ramble, or give way too much informa
- 7. 6. Write things down. Take notes while you are talking to another person or when you are in a meeting, and do n rely on your memory. Send a follow-up email to make sure that you understand what was being said during the conversation.
- 8. 7. 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.
- 9. 8. 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 habi allow you to avoid embarrassments
- 10. 9. Treat everyone equally. Do not talk down to anyone, treating everyone with respect. Treat others as your equal.
- 11. 10. Maintain a positive attitude and smile. Even when you are speaking on the phone, smile because your positive attitude will shine and the other person will know it. When you smile often and exude a positive attitude, peo will respond positively to you.
