effective communicator is able to tell the truth, yet still advise fully of the risks and chances, which avoids falling into the category of being somebody who does not tell the truth.
Once you have a reputation for lying to get your way, you will find that getting people to listen to you is next to impossible.
You will never be a good communicator unless you learn to be a good listener.
There is more to communication than just getting your message out, the other person must understand it, and you need to be able to listen to them to be sure that they do.
Do not skip over their questions, or gloss over their viewpoints.
Communication is a skill, it is a matter of give and take and so in order for you to be a great communicator, you must learn to listen.
People appreciate being listened too, it makes them feel as if their opinion matters, even it is different from your viewpoint.
Another part of effective communication is how to hold a discussion without it turning into an argument.
Sometimes arguments can flare up just by the tone of voice that is used, so always keep your tone neutral, especially when having discussions; remember it is okay to disagree as long as it is done in a constructive way.
Avoid ever placing blame and watch your language to avoid blame language such as “you did this.”
More often than we would like, at some point during a conversation with somebody, the other person might take the low road and deliberately say something to make you react in a bad way.
That is a tactic used by people who are unable to effectively say what they mean so they say something inflammatory or hurtful.
Let them. Do not react. Yes, this is hard to do, but by thinking things through instead of just reacting, calmer heads will prevail.
