How To Improve Communication Skills
In 5 Simple Steps
Michael Leehttp://www.20daypersuasion.com/secrets.htm
Learning how to improve communication skills is a
continuous affair. After all, you’re only as good as your
last performance.
Unless you’re the type of person who is satisfied with being second best at everything (and I trust that you aren’t), then I’m sure that you will find use for this information
one way or another.
It’s always important for you to do your research first. Find out what your intended audience likes and dislikes. Does this particular group belong to a certain age bracket? Is your
audience young or old?
Consider the demographics before you even work on what you want to communicate to
them. After all, Einstein’s theories - no matter how
brilliant - are useless when explained to a bunch of toddlers.
Before you even get to the heart of the topic, I suggest you make a connection with the audience
first.
Ask them questions on what their expectations are, or any
other questions related to what you’re about to discuss. Find
common ground and everything will go more smoothly.
If you want to know how to improve communication skills, then you must do what anyone
who wants to develop his abilities does - practice!
Whether you want to practice with an audience or with just a
bunch of pillows doesn’t matter, as long as you practice.
Doing this at least gets you used to communicating with other people other than yourself.
Besides, not practicing dulls your skills - no matter how impressive they already are.
Communication is not just oral; and it is not just written.
Communication is also the way you present yourself to the
people you’re about to convey your ideas to.
Dress shabbily to a bunch of business men and you can bet
there’ll be no support from them. Dress too ostentatiously in
a seminar and you can bet no one will remember a thing you
say. You must dress in a way that is appropriate for your topic and
your audience.
People don’t always say what is in their heads, so you need to learn
how to see through their reactions and their questions.
When presenting, try to listen to what your audience is really
trying to say instead of worrying whether or not you’re making a
good impression.
Being able to read their body language can help you a lot in
detecting how they are thinking and feeling at the moment.
Interpreting body language is a whole new topic on its own; just
search for “reading body language” in google and you'll find lots of information on the subject.
By understanding what it is that they’re really after, you’ll be
able to cater to their needs as well as improve your
communication skills tenfold!
Everyone needs a lesson on how to improve communication skills. Because of today’s technology, many people have traded their innate abilities for something a little less recognizable. Don’t be
like those people and start working on your communication
skills right now before it’s too late.
