How To Be Impressive In Your Communication?

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.?

-Epictetus

I'm sure that you might have also heard this statement before. We are all asked to sharpen our communications no matter our field.?

With all that's been already stated and documented about communication – can we ever get better at impressing people with our communication skills?

In my opinion, the most subtle yet influential communication knowledge level is "Alluring Communication."

I've penned down the key to alluring communication into four critical points for a better explanation.?

These tips will make you captivating (like a magnet) in your communication skills, influencing others – only if you follow them daily and master the game.?

Tips To Be Alluring In Your Communications

Be A Listener Than A Talker?

People tend to run around the obsession of "only me" and keep talking about themselves, which no one would be interested in. What follows is that?an adequate?listener is way more attractive than a talker.?

The world already has many people talking but has built only a few listeners who patiently listen to the conversations happening around.?

Alluring communication is not just bounded by talking skills but also by listening skills.?

When you listen to someone speaking, don't focus on what your reply should be. Focus on the communication that's happening and the level of comprehension like:

• the words
• the tone
• the underlying emotions.?

This is because when you divert your focus on your reply, you miss out on some noteworthy points that an individual is quoting, which is a big turn-off. Be?fully attentive?to the person you are conversing with.?

"Communication is the glue cementing connections."

Express Directly

Directly articulate with the person you mean to. In many organizations, communication channels are formed with many nonessential people passing on the messages.?

With the Chinese whispers game, we know this does not work when there are too many people. Just communicate directly with the person you mean to.

Communication is something that has a significant influence on our personal and professional life. It has to be taken seriously. And always remember that some of the most successful and happy people are great communicators.

Use Body Language

Understand body language's significance, utilize it with others, and communicate messages about yourself.?

Non-verbal communication is subtle and (if unchecked) displays the person's inappropriateness between their thoughts/feelings and words – which is a good conductor of dishonesty.

Design A Sense Of Humor

Well, tell me honestly! Who doesn't love people with a great sense of humor? I accept that I definitely do because a sense of humor is such a great magnet that brings people's ears to you.?

Try to seed humor in your discussions (when appropriate) with fair jokes, dry humor, and laughter!?

"Learn to see the funny side of life."

If you construct a mistake, acknowledge it with humor! I find people who can laugh effortlessly and enjoy laughing. They are just relaxed, approachable, open, confident, and not self-conscious.

Position a funny spin on it, and people will laugh?with you?rather than?at you, making a big difference to your sensitive ego.
