Communication Matters

“Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.”

Jim Rohn

Transferring information from one location, person, or group to another is the act of communication. Every communication has a sender, a message, and a recipient at a minimum. Although it can seem straightforward, communication is actually a highly complicated topic. Speaking, writing, listening, and reading are all forms of communication. Communication is the process of delivering, receiving, and exchanging information.

It is possible that message recipients will express their understanding of the information through both vocal and non-verbal replies. Keep a careful eye on this feedback since it is the only method to determine whether the message has been comprehended as intended and enables any confusion to be resolved.

Embrace the communication styles of others. Never constantly compare yourself to others. Being flexible will help you combat dullness. If someone else has a different style than you, don't judge them. Don't lose your own way while copying others, too.

When you sit down to resolve your disputes with coworkers, make careful to remain cool and open-minded. Before you provide your side of the tale, give them time to fully explain their side.

When you communicate, you are sending signals to people with more than just your words. Ask your friends to assist you to look for areas where you can improve. Choose an orator you admire, and try to emulate their approach in certain aspects to add eloquence. To avoid losing your unique style, do not emulate to the hilt, though.

Because you don't want to disappoint anyone, at job or in your personal life, it might be difficult to say no. But communicating within your bounds is equally crucial if you want to be honest with yourself. So, get in the habit of saying no when necessary.
