How to Communicate With People Effectively?
By Justin Jesse

Communication is as easy as ABC but many people find it hard to convey their messages to other people. They don’t know the exact techniques to talk to people. In fact, before you inform someone about something, you need to ask yourself one simple question, i.e. “If I were the other person, how would I hear this message most clearly and respond appropriately?”

Here are some useful guidelines you should refer in order to enhance your communication skills.

* Language plays an important role in communication. You are reminded to choose appropriate and direct language when you talk to people. You should avoid jargon because some people do not understand. Besides language, you need to bear in mind that your choice of words is important too. Plan before you speak up.
* You are reminded to specify what you want to say and for what purpose you need to say so. It will be good if you can specify your purpose by clarifying what you want to achieve. For example, creating awareness, providing new information or additional knowledge, changing someone’s attitude, etc.
* You need to know the person(s) and the context in which the communication takes place. During the communication process, you must take necessary action to discover other people’s needs, interests and attitude.
* Find out how you feel about yourself, other people as well as the topic you are going to deliver. Frankly speaking, your feelings will affect the communication.
* Are you certain with what you are going to say? It is important for you to resolve conflicting feelings before you communicate so that you can deliver clear and unambiguous messages confidently. If you can’t sort out your feeling, it is impossible for you to express your inner conflict openly. Hence, it is better for you not to start the communication.
* You are advised to use more than one channel to convey important messages. You must repeat the messages in different forms in order to gain attention. Besides, you need to make sure that you pass the message in a consistent manner. No matter what forms you apply, the components must be the same.

Having good communication skill is essential because we need to interact with different people every day. We need to communicate with our family members, friends, colleagues, clients, and bosses from time to time. You will be able to achieve great success in communication if you apply the techniques stated above.
