"In today's world of information, it is essential to improve your communication
skill in order to move forward and prosper. Being able to communicate
effectively means more than just being articulate." That's what Michael
Lee says anyway, and he explains more in his article below. And I have my
say too. I'm an expert in the field of improving the skills of communicating
as, alas, I've needed to do a lot of improving. Oops!
Improving
communication skills - what I say...Michael's article on communication
skills is commonsense really: listen more carefully; respond (don't react);
and practice, practice, practice - but if you follow the advice then your communication
skills will improve. And isn't that the point? Most self-help
is obvious, really, but the trick is putting it into action. So I say put
at least one of Michael's methods of improving your communication skills into
practice today, and let me know how you got on!
(And I'll be able to tell how you got on by how well you communicate your message
to me, won't I? No pressure or anything! ;-) )
By the way, Michael considers himself to be something of a persuasion expert. Which sounds a bit sinister until you realise how much persuading we each of us get to do in our lives. Then you think, hmm, maybe I could do with some help in the persuading department. If so, Michael Lee's Expert Persuader ebook is probably worth you reading!
Anyway, over to Michael...
Improve Your
Communication Skill and SucceedImproving communication skills - what
Michael Lee has to say...Improve your communication skill and you
can slowly work your way towards success. In today's world of information, it
is essential to improve your communication skill in order to move forward and
prosper. Being able to effectively communicate with others means that you
have the capability to receive and relay information, a very important asset considering
that information today has become a valued asset. Being able to communicate
effectively means more than just being articulate. Many other factors are required
for effective communication. You have to know them in order for you to improve
your communication skill. Good communication skills also rely on having
a keen ear aside from having a way with the spoken word. Here are some tips that
will be able to help you improve your communication skill. Effective
communication relies on your ability to listen. Being an attentive listener
allows you to gather all the information that you can get from a certain conversation.
Being an attentive listener also means that you focus on what is being said and
make sure that you comprehend the point. A good way to improve on your
comprehension is by learning to get involved in the conversation. Know
how to ask questions whenever you think you miss out on a certain point. Try to
make use of your other senses during an ongoing conversation. The more you involve
your other senses, the more you would stay interested on what is being said. During
conversations, try to respond instead of trying to react. Responding entails
the use of your mind before you speak whereas reacting usually involves your emotion.
Responding always keeps you in control as you mindfully oversee what you wish
to say. Reacting, on the other hand, can let a conversation get out of hand, which
is not the aim of effective communication. The most important tip
that you need to do to improve your communication skill is constant practice.
Try to participate in as many discussions and social interactions as you can.
Try to practice the art of listening as well as contributing to the conversation.
As you go along, you will notice a considerable improvement on your communication
skills. If there is a lack of possible discussions to participate in, you can
always practice on your own friends and family. After all, effective communication
can be used in different aspects of your life, be it at work at play. Always remember
that effective communication is a way of building relationships. As you
strive to improve your communication skill, you will eventually find success along
the way. ----------------------------------------------------
