how to improve communication skills.

 what is communication?

It's About Shared Understanding.

Hypothetically, suppose that you possess some complicated notion or intense feeling or critical fact that resides in your mind. Communication is like a bridge which you create and allow the transfer of that precise thought, emotion or information to appear in the mind of the other so that they are able to see it and have the same thing in their mind the way you do. It is a two-way traffic that has a sender, a message, a channel and a receiver. However, the important bit is that we only communicate when the message given is the message received and most importantly, understood.

A SHORT STORY OF CONNECTION.

There was once a very bright though famously silent engineer named Priya who worked in a busy startup. She was revolutionary in ideas and they used to lose it in the meetings. She would then come with her complicated algorithms, and her fellow workers would then give her a polite smile, but they could not understand the meaning of what she was saying. The CEO in frustration of the lost opportunities, called her aside. That is why he said to Priya sweetly, what you are offering can be called unbelievable but it is not sticking. What's happening?"

Priya grumbled over the technical depth. The chief executive officer smiled. That is what I say, try it. Use reasons and not explanations as to why something is important. Please give us a story." The following week Priya began differently. Suppose our customers, she said as though she found it difficult at first, but getting stronger, and she held off her voice a little. Instead they are wasting time by hand preparing reports hour after hour. My new mechanism? It becomes the magic wand to them. With one click they produce those reports. That saves hundreds of hours, that saves hundreds of businesses."

She proceeded to provide a casual relatable story of one client who had the exact same problem that her system alleviated. One moment the room was there, the next moment it was not. There were smiling faces. People asked questions, not questions regarding the code, questions regarding the impact. Priya had made a habit of learning the language of her audience so that she could communicate a bridge between her technical genius and the needs of their businesses. Her inventions eventually took off.

TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.

here are 5 tips are as follows:

 1.  Learn to be a Great Listener: 

Pay that extra attention to the other person to have an insight of what he or she is saying by using both words and body language that you are interested. This forms a trust factor and accurate information.

2. Pay Attention to Body Language:

 Body gestures, expression and tone can speak more than thousand words. Make sure they follow what you say so as to be on the same page and appear sincere.

3. Have a sense of Clarity and Conciseness:

 Be succinct. Use source language and understand your thoughts so that others read easily and will remember what you say.

4. Master the Emotional Intelligence (EQ): 

Learn how to handle your own emotions, and how to read the ones of others. This makes sure that your communication is not hijacked emotionally and it leads to developing rapport.

 Be receptive to feedback on how you communicate, in order to learn about the blind spots, as well as to provide constructive praise to others, with feedback that is specific.

By applying these tips, you'll improve your connections, influence, and overall relationships.
