1 Identify your biases

The first step to overcoming communication biases is recognizing them. Biases can be based on culture, education, personality, values, emotions, or experiences. Examples of communication biases include confirmation bias, halo effect, stereotyping, attribution error, and selective perception. To identify your biases, you can ask yourself questions such as how you form impressions of others, what information you pay attention to or ignore, how you explain the behavior of others, how you evaluate the credibility of sources, and how you react to feedback or criticism.

2 Challenge your biases

The second step to overcoming communication biases is to challenge them. To do this, seek out perspectives, evidence, and feedback that may conflict with your biases. You can also test your assumptions or hypotheses by asking open-ended questions, conducting experiments, or observing outcomes. Strategies for challenging biases include asking for feedback from people with different backgrounds, opinions, or experiences; reading or listening to sources that provide alternative viewpoints or information; using critical thinking and logic to evaluate the validity and reliability of your arguments and sources; considering the context, situation, and goals of the communication; and acknowledging and correcting your mistakes or biases when they are discovered.

3 Adjust your communication

The third step to overcoming communication biases is to adjust your communication accordingly. This can be done through the use of clear, respectful, and inclusive language, tone, and body language that effectively and appropriately convey your message. Active listening, empathy, and feedback skills can also be used to understand and respond to the message of others. To adjust your communication, you can practice techniques such as using specific words and phrases that avoid ambiguity, generalization, or exaggeration; employing positive, polite, and constructive tone and body language; utilizing “I” statements, paraphrasing, and summarizing to clarify your message; asking open-ended questions, reflecting back, and validating; as well as providing constructive criticism, praise, and suggestions. By following these steps you can overcome communication biases while improving your interpersonal communication skills. This will lead to enhanced relationships in both personal and professional settings as well as improved performance and satisfaction.

I think it's quite commonplace that sometimes people don't hear what they're saying or rather their perception of what they say can sound different to others. It's important to take a step back and listen to yourself and how it comes off to others before you actually say it. Truly effective communication begins with listening and that's the first step to learning and understanding what are the biases in our communication.
