Improving Communication SkillsBe a Good InfluenceAttitude You can change the direction of a communication if you change your attitude. There is no one attitude that's the 'right' one to have, though being direct and clear certainly helps. Effective Listening and Responding You can have tremendous influence on a communication as the listener and the responder. When we get little or no response from the listener, we often project our assumptions onto them about what they are thinking (and usually we assume they aren't thinking good things about us!). Be Positive Use affirmation and encouragement to get the best out of people. Notice when others do things well (even if it's part of their daily routine). This shows you're being attentive; most people respond well when they know that others are aware of what they do. Quite simply, the workplace can be a far better place to be if you consciously sprinkle your communication with positive feedback. The Importance of Basic Communication Skills What's most important is that you don't leave the business of communication to chance. Raise your awareness, develop your skills and you'll be a role model for effective communication.Home page good communication skills Read more about communication skills development and coaching tips @ Impact Factory Find Impact Factorys next available Open Communication Skills Course For Tailored Communication Skills Training see Communication Skills Training For One-to-One Communication Skills see Executive Coaching If you want some in-depth thoughts about Communication, read the Communication Skills articles on our Jolly Good Read page For an example a recent tailored programme see the Communication Skills Programme we run for Merrill Lynch |
