“the WORLD is giving you
ANSWERS  every day,
LEARN TO LISTEN.

What are the basic types of communication
and how can we improve our communication?

The key to success is great communication skills in work, life, and relationships. Unclear communication can turn into a misunderstanding, an error, or even accidentally result in a problem.  Try to be precise in your communication. It will improve your communication skills.

 

Make it a point to listen to what the other person is saying, instead of formulating a canned response. Listen attentively as if the person talking to you is the most important person in your life. Ask for clarity to avoid any misunderstandings. Concentrate on having only one conversation at a time. This also applies to email and text messages.

 

It’s okay to use slang and other informal language when speaking to your
friends, but not when you are communicating with your boss. Take into consideration
who you are talking to at all times and respond appropriately.

 

It’s very important that our body language communicates that we are attentive
and interested in what the other person is saying. During a video call or face-to-face
conversation, always look the person in the eyes and do not cross your arms.

 

Use spell and grammar checks. And then check it again before pressing send.

 

Try to avoid rambling on.

How do i become a great active listener?

ACTIVE LISTENING requires a skill of sharpness and alertness. It’s a skill that allows you not to be bored by the conversation. An active listener will listen attentively while others speak, without being judgmental. The active listener withholds their response until the speaker is finished with their thought. The active listener has a lot of patience to process what the other person is saying. Active listeners can also add to a conversation with interesting insights and humour. Active listening techniques are used in coaching, mentoring, training, and resolving conflicts. During the training, it requires that the listener fully focus, understand, retain and respond to what is being said. The most valuable skill for anyone looking to become ultra-successful in life is becoming an ACTIVE LISTENER and having a PROBLEM-SOLVING MINDSET. Personally, I will listen to anyone. My personal belief is God blessed me not to judge prematurely.
