    How to improve your communication skills?

    With experience and practice, you can learn and improve communication skills. Start by
    identifying your strengths and then practice and develop those areas.

     Ask a close friend or colleague for constructive criticism. It can be


    hard to know how you are perceived as a communicator. To get an
    objective opinion, ask a trusted friend for their honest feedback.
    Understanding your areas of improvement for communication can help
    you identify what to focus on.
     Practice improving communication habits. Many communication
    skills are habits you have developed over time. You can improve those
    skills by practising new habits that make you a better communicator.
    That might include being more responsive to communications when
    they are sent, reminding yourself to make eye contact, practising giving
    positive feedback and asking questions in conversations.
     Attend communication skills workshops or classes. There are
    several online and offline seminars, workshops and classes that can
    help you become a better communicator. These classes may include
    instruction, role play, written assignments and open discussions.
     Seek opportunities to communicate. Seek opportunities, on and off
    the job, that require you to use communication skills. This will help you
    improve existing skills and allow you to practice new ones.

    Communicating effectively in the workplace


    While there are several communication skills you will use in different scenarios, there
    are few ways you can be an effective communicator at work.

     Be clear and concise. Making your message as easy to consume as


    possible reduces the chance of misunderstandings, speeds up projects
    and helps others quickly understand your goals. Instead of speaking in
    long, detailed sentences, practice reducing your message to its core
    meaning. While providing context is helpful, it is best to give the most
    necessary information when trying to communicate your idea,
    instruction or message.
     Practice empathy. Understanding your colleague’s feelings, ideas and
    goals can help you when communicating with them. For example, you
    might need help from other departments to get a project started. If they
    are not willing to help or have concerns, practising empathy can help
    you position your message in a way that addresses their apprehension.
     Assert yourself. At times, it is necessary to be assertive to reach your
    goals whether you are asking for a raise, seeking project opportunities
    or resisting an idea you don’t think will be beneficial. While presenting
    with confidence is an important part of the workplace, you should
    always be respectful in conversation. Keeping an even tone and
    providing sound reasons for your assertions will help others be
    receptive to your thoughts.
     Be calm and consistent. When there is a disagreement or conflict, it
    can be easy to bring emotion into your communications. It is important
    to remain calm when communicating with others in the workplace. Be
    aware of your body language by not crossing your arms or rolling your
    eyes. Maintaining consistent body language and keeping an even tone
    of voice can help you reach a conclusion peacefully and productively.
     Use and read body language. Body language is a key part of
    communications in the workplace. Pay close attention to the messages
    people are sending with their facial expressions and movements. You
    should also pay close attention to the way you might be communicating
    (intentionally or not) with your body language.
