Today we will keep it short and simple because too much motivation can in a way be boring.
We have realized that some of us have difficulties being understood, or communicating with people around us, that’s why we have put together 5 reasons why we think you may be having difficulty communicating with those around you.
- EFFECTIVELY LISTEN
Most of our communication problems arise when we do not listen to those around us.
When you make an effort to truly absorb what the other person is saying you will find yourself reaching understanding so much easier.
- BE DIRECT
When you want to communicate an idea or emotion, you need to be direct, don’t beat around the bush and force the person you are talking to guess what you mean, and always make your points clear.
- TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT
Great communicators don’t need to degrade people to make their points clear. Take into account how what you are saying is affecting the person you are saying it to ok!!!
- WATCH YOUR BODY LANGUAGE
Your body language is an important non-verbal social cue. If your body language demonstrates that you are interested, you will have it much easier navigating various conversations.
- WATCH YOUR TONE
Your tone matters just as much, if not more than your words. Make sure you are mindful of your tone when speaking to people, so if your tone is poor the rest of your conversation will follow.
