In today’s world much communication is visual, videos, CD’s, billboards, so why do we so easily assume that communication is only about the words we use. In fact much of what we communicate is more about our body language and our tone of voice than the words that we use.
If we are trying to deal with a tricky bit of communication, we need to watch our tone of voice and the way our body is. There’s a saying that a gentle voice turns away anger. It’s very hard not to react to a sarcastic or accusing tone of voice. In the same way if someone won’t look you in the eye, it’s hard to trust what they are saying. Folded arms seem to contradict words of welcome or encouragement.
How We Communicate?
1.Be honest. Dishonesty will show up somewhere along the line. 2. Be interested in the people you are communicating with. Remember people are more attracted to those who are interested in them, and will pay more attention to what they are saying. 3.Be relaxed. Bad body language such as hunched shoulders, fidgeting, toe-tapping or hair-twiddling all give the game away. 4.Listen first. Communication is a two-way process; getting your message across depends on understanding the other person. 5.Smile and use eye contact. It’s the most positive signal you can give. (A relatively simple yet very effective way to improve your nonverbal communication skills.) 6. Be direct (but not aggressive). A lot of flannelling around can make people lose interest and miss the vital point.
