COMMUNICATION SKILLS LESSON JUST FOR YOU !

Why is good communication very important at work? 

This has become even more relevant with the increase in remote work – bad communication skills have been highlighted by the increased use of messaging rather than face-to-face workplace communication 

Think of the various aspects of that work that require good communication: 

• Pitching your company to the client, 
• Building a trusting personal relationship with them, 
• Understanding what they want and clearly communicating that to the relevant teams, 

receiving feedback, 

• Communicating about updates or delays, and many more. 

If you are unable to do this, then the client will lose trust and could seek another company that is better at communication. 

Ways to improve your communication skills

1. The importance of listening

We cannot touch on the importance of communication without highlighting that a massive aspect of it is what you do when you’re not talking. 

Being a good listener is the most crucial part of communication.

2. Improving non-verbal communication

To begin improving your non-verbal communication, first, you must begin by paying attention to it.

3. Improving verbal communication

To improve your verbal communication, you’ll need to get better at both what you say and how you say it.

4. Improving written communication

In written communication, the first step to improve is to make sure that your spelling and grammar are perfect.

5. Improving visual communication

An important aspect of using visual communication is to only use it when necessary. A presentation stuffed full of visual aids that do not add to the content is messy, unprofessional and will distract from the overall message. 

The list above may help you towards the challenges that you will face in your future endeavors. Keep in mind that everything you do matters to the business and people surrounding you.
