Communication And Effective Communication

Frequently, when observing these gestures alone the observer can get the wrong impression, for instance, the listener can subconsciously cross their arms. This does not mean that they are bored or annoyed with the speaker; it can be a gesture that they are comfortable with. Viewing gestures as a whole will prevent these misunderstandings. Non-verbal gestures are not only physical, for example; the tone of voice addressing a child will be different from the way it is addressed to an adult.

One can end up feeling more at ease and safer through it being there. Without it, one can appear shifty and deceptive. It could be due to shyness or low confidence, but this is often overlooked and labelled as one being rude or even ignorant. Connection And as it can lead to trust being formed, it therefore means that it will play a big part in how connected one feels to another. When one talks to someone and eye contact is there, each person can come to conclusion that they matter and they could even end up feeling special because of it.

While the speaker may feel like he isn't being listened to, the listener may find some parts of the speakers talk confusing and hard to follow. Without comments, his concerns and confusion are never addressed. The simplest way to help a speaker along and show that you are listening is with subtle cues such as "hum", and "uh", "huh". While this is not a complicated form of listening it shows the speaker that you are paying attention to them. This is also good to way to show the focus of your attention is on the speaker.

Although this would not have made the situation completely better, it would have at least shown some acknowledgement on his part. All in all, in order to be a successful communicator it is important to focus on both the verbal and non-verbal cues of what the speaker is telling you. This can be done by be being attentive to their attitude, signals, and movements. It is important to be cognizant of the non-verbal cues you are conveying. Non-verbal communication is a constant practice and if you are too caught up in something else and distracted, you are going to miss these subtleties and could become a poor communicator.

No one wants a situation to not work out in their favor. It is much more enjoyable when situations are compatible with what you want and how you want. Though this is what people want, other people may not have the same idea. In order to achieve what you want, you complain. Complaining effectively is crucial to make situations work out to your best interest.

If you are getting to know yourself, then you may not be able to see some things about yourself that are clear to other people. Don 't let other people beat you down, though. Some things you know about yourself with certainty, and their opinions reflect nothing but their own fears or judgments. But, don 't deny a truth when you hear it. Listen to their words, consider them, and then decide for yourself whether or not they are

Some people are willing to accept feedback and seek it out, even if it is sometimes disturbing, because they believe they can grow from it. It comes down to whether you believe feedback will harm you or benefit you. This is not to say that we should always have to accept feedback or the manner in which it is sometimes given. We all have the right to refuse feedback, and we can expect feedback to be given in a respectful and supportive manner. But for every positive and open way of accepting feedback, there's an opposite; a negative and closed manner which pushes feedback away and keeps it at bay.

A lot of times people get confused with communication and good communication, just because information is given it doesn’t mean that the information that was put out was affective. Kotter and Cohen, good communication shows people something that addresses their anxieties, that accepts their anger, that is credible in a very gut-level sense, and that evokes faith in the vision. (Kotter and Cohen 84) This step will help leaders to communicate the change in a way that will be accepted and welcomed. The text states that, groups usually take more time to reach a decision than individuals do. (Invancevich 417) To me that is more of the reason to make sure the message and the intend of the change is well communicated.

We should prepare well to reduce anxiousness. Once we are anxious, it implies that we are lack of confidence. We may lower our volume to avoid mistakes. Yet, the listeners may not be able to hear and fail to give responds which leads to inefficient communication. When we are well prepared about the topics in our appointed communication, we are able to handle the situation and response correctly.

Communicating effectively also includes being a good listener. Listening is not the same as hearing. Take time to listen carefully to what others are saying through both their verbal and non-verbal communication. Be aware of your own words and body language when communicating with others, making sure that you won’t be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Communication is never perfect and can easily fail for many reasons.
