How can I
improve my communication with my family, friends and lecturers?
- Think Before You Speak
Take a few moments before you open your mouth to gather your idea to speak.
Think about the point you wish to convey to the other person. When you speak thoughtfully and
with clarity,,you are more easy to be understood.
Ask Questions
Ask Questions
Ask for clarification if you are not uncertain about the
meaning of another person's statement. Do not assume that you understand the uncertain of a message. Messages that are not clear can lead to
misunderstandings.
·
Double Check
Repeat back your interpretation and words of the other person's comments. Don't doubt. Once you're confident that you're both on the same page, you
will be more equipped to give an appropriate and meaningful response.
·
Don't Point Fingers
Use "I" statements to help prevent others from feeling
attacked. For example, don't say, "You make
me upset." It's better to say, "I'm upset."
·
Listen in Earnest
Good listening skills are important to effective communication. Instead of concentrating on what you want to say once the
other person stops talking, pay attention to what they are saying without
judgment. If you are thinking of your response while the other person is
talking, you aren't practice good communication skills.
·
Don't Criticize
Avoid criticizing an complaining another person's viewpoint. Make an effort to
understand his point of view. This doesn't mean you have to agree with
something you don't believe in. Just be willing to accept an
opposing idea.
·
Maintain Your Composure
Keep close tabs on your emotions if a conversation turns heated. If you feel mad, sad or frustrated you may want to take a break from the discussion until you calm down. Return to the discussion when you are able to keep your voice firm and steady.
·
Practice Your Words
If you feel uncomfortable about an upcoming conversation, rehearse what
you want to say. For example if you have
scheduled to a presentation in you class, practise and rehearse before you come in front on your class and present your task.
·
Use Body Language
Body language can be a very effective form of communication, especially
if it's difficult for you to express yourself verbally. Make eye contact while
you speak and lean toward the speaker. This type of body language indicates to
the other person that you are fully participating in the exchange.
