What we are saying doesn’t always align with what we are meaning. Our communication habits most probably don’t reflect our dynamic thoughts and emotions, which gives others the wrong impression of what we say.

Undoubtedly will affect the perception and response of others during interactions.

At the same time, we also judge the habitual behaviors of others and misunderstand what they want to say. This process leads to miscommunication about what another person means. And it happens quite often.

Meaning, we have an intention when we talk, but our style, patterns, and perceptions get in the way of the other person picking it up.

Communication styles are fluid. You may rely on an aggressive approach with family members but speak more passively with work colleagues. Communication styles also shift and change over time as we grow and learn from life experiences.

These types of communication style assessment tools develop self-awareness, a key attribute in personal development, healthy relationships, and effective communication skills.?

?Excellent communication skills run hand-in-hand with success.

When we reflect on the successful people we know, two characteristics commonly show up:

First, they have a sense of self-awareness and comfort being within their own skin, and confidence in their sense of their purpose in life.

Second, they often have an above-average means of relating to other people, be that the ability to connect, set people at ease, and communicate in a way that encourages trust.?

Now that you understand the four styles, it’s time to develop self-awareness and uncover your behavioral tendencies and personal needs. Then, employing?assertive communication behaviors, start expressing needs and wants confidently.

whatever your goals relate to your job, health, family, you’ll never get what you want without learning effective communication. It doesn’t mean talking loudly, getting the last word, or avoiding conflict.

Strong communication is understanding your needs and learning how to express them clearly, and valuing messages you receive from others.?
