1 Listen Actively

Active listening is the cornerstone of effective communication. In research, this means not only hearing but also understanding and responding thoughtfully to colleagues' ideas and feedback. By showing genuine interest in their perspectives, you encourage open dialogue and collaborative problem-solving. Practice paraphrasing what others say to confirm your understanding, and ask clarifying questions. This approach not only improves your comprehension but also demonstrates respect for your colleagues' contributions.

In effective research communication, surveys, interviews, and feedback are critical. Those form the core of your primary source of data. Thus, asking clarification questions, paraphrasing to confirm if you understood them right is pivotal in ensuring accuracy of data collected. This requires active listening.

2 Speak Clearly

Clarity in speech is non-negotiable when discussing complex research topics. Avoid jargon unless it's commonly understood by your audience, and always explain acronyms and technical terms. Use simple language and structure your thoughts logically before you speak. This will help your listeners follow your argument and engage with your research on a deeper level. Remember, the goal is to communicate ideas, not to impress with an extensive vocabulary.

When I worked for one of my previous employers, I was always advised to document everything as if it would be read by a lawyer in a courtroom who was unfamiliar with any of our acronyms. This principle applies to speaking about complex research topics as well. Clarity in speech is non-negotiable.

Speaking clearly has two aspects- clarity and research speak. While these might sound obvious or simple, it not necessarily always is, especially in research communication. Research content is usually specific, deep, and niche. Using common parlance to communicate jargon-filled original research work is important to simplify understanding of your work. Clarity doesn't only mean clarity is flow and pace of speech. It also means the right choice of words. The right tenses to communicate research simply and clearly. Use direct speech as much as possible. Without fearing dumbing down or trivializing of your work, simplify your work to be understood, for being understood is probably the most important aspect of research to be used and useful.

3 Be Concise

Brevity is vital in verbal communication, especially in research where time is often limited. Practice distilling your thoughts into the most essential points. This doesn't mean oversimplifying complex ideas but rather being selective about the information you share. Focus on what is necessary for the listener to understand the context and significance of your research. A concise delivery can make your message more impactful and memorable.

4 Show Confidence

Confidence in your speech conveys authority and helps persuade others of the value of your research. However, confidence doesn't mean arrogance; it's about being assertive and self-assured. Prepare thoroughly for presentations and discussions, which will naturally boost your confidence. Use a steady tone of voice, make eye contact, and be mindful of your body language. These cues reinforce the credibility of your verbal communication.

5 Engage Your Audience

Engagement is key to ensuring that your message resonates with your audience. Tailor your communication style to the interests and knowledge level of your listeners. Use relevant examples and analogies to make abstract concepts more relatable. Encourage participation by posing questions and inviting feedback. An engaged audience is more likely to absorb and reflect on the information you present.

6 Reflect and Improve

Continual improvement of your verbal communication skills requires reflection on past performances. After presentations or discussions, take time to consider what worked well and what could be better. Seek constructive feedback from peers and mentors, and be open to making adjustments. Practice regularly in different settings, such as informal meetings or public speaking groups, to adapt your skills to various audiences and situations.

Two things have found helpful is to be self confident and assertive. Be confident first in yourself, in the way you speak. Also, be assertive. This means that you should voice out your opinion every if it means it will not be agreed by others. However, this not to be done aggressively. Speak your mind but also respect others people's opinions and thoughts
