10 tips for effective communication
from:The ability to be able to communicate well is essential in all walks of life if we are to succeed and accomplish the goals we set out for ourselves. The key to any successful relationship is having the ability to communicate and this applies equally to personal relationships as well as building interpersonal relationships within the workplace. Here are ten tips for developing good communication skills that you can use to build upon.
Always let the person who is talking finish what they are saying before you speak, if you speak before they have had their say then you could miss a valuable point, if you break into their conversation it also shows that you think what you have to say matters more than what they do and is extremely bad manners.
Listen intently to what the other person is saying to you, if all you are doing is thinking of how you are going to reply to the person then your full attention isnt focused on what they are saying and you could miss something important.
Always stay focused on the present and never bring up past issues, however related it may seem. This only cloud the present issues and can make the conversation difficult and even more confusing.
Really listen to what the other is saying to you, it is so easy to drift away with thoughts of your own especially if you dont agree with what the person is saying to you, try not to get defensive and dont interrupt them before they have made their point.
Instead of trying to win an argument or conflict try to reason and find a solution that is agreeable to both parties, this is a much more effective way to communicate than trying to battle it out just for the sake of winning, this way no one is the loser.
Take a break if you cannot come to a reasonable agreement in a conversation when at odds, taking a break will allow you to cool down and gather your thoughts before communicating again.
Try to see the others point of view and dont just stick with what you have in mind, talk over the ins and outs and explain simply and fully why you dont think their idea is a good one while making suggestions of your own, but dont be too quick to dismiss the others idea until you have the full picture.
Even if you dont like what other person is saying try to be respectful of their opinion and do listen to what they have to say even if you dont necessarily agree with them.
Dont blow things out of proportion while conversing, if possible avoid starting sentences with you always or you never, always think about what you are saying and make sure that what you are saying is true, blowing things out of proportion, blaming and bringing up the past only creates more negativity.
Dont always put all the blame on the other, sometimes we handle conflicts by blaming things entirely on the other and criticizing, try to analyze the situation objectively to find a solution.
