- Communication Skills – A critical skill, especially in today’s time, as we meet many new people. By knowing how to communicate with others, you could form bonds that will be effective and beneficial in life.
-
- As the saying goes, “more is better than none.” To start, listen more than speaking to people. This will give you time to learn about them before talking to them. In this way, you are more likely not to offend them, as you thought of what to say regarding the person’s preference and background. Learn to read people by their body language and their tone of voice. These indirect clues will help you form your response to approve the person you are speaking to, giving you high points. Most notably, your actions are a form of communication.
- Stories reveal a lot about a person’s motive or mindset in a certain situation. For this reason, think “what is the significance of what I’m doing?” before proceeding to do it. In this way, you consider what other people think of you if you had done what you initially intended to do and how it will affect you in your future. A good example is receiving criticism. If you argue about another person’s critique, other people would see you as a person who is arrogant and doesn’t want to learn. However, if you are quiet, listen to the criticism, and give thanks for the advice, you are seen as a respectable person who wants to improve on themselves. It is important to remember that our communication skills represent who we are.
