Your art is precious, embrace it with communication- Neha Serene
Hey my beautiful people,
Today I bring you a notion which is time and over misinterpreted.
You must be speculating; what is she talking over?
Is it on effective communication?
Well, yes, you’re correct!
What if I say, pondering only towards a language creates a baffling situation to anyone?
I believe communication is an art, leading us towards the walk of life.
I was just curious enough to ask you, have you heard “The 7% Rule?”
Let me tell you a short story about research that happens in the late 1970s.
Albert Mehrabian published a book Silent Messages, in which he discussed his research on non-verbal communication in which he assigned 55 percent to body language and another 38 percent to the tone of the voice, and 7 percent to the script. However, this formula is applied in human behavior, and it has a severe limitation to it.
Language is a part of communication, but not the communication itself. Yes, language is power. Communication can also happen thru images, signs, sounds, body language, and so on. Therefore, to communicate effectively with anyone around you or to the group. It is predominant to learn how to speak.
Here are my 8 proven ways to learn the art of communication.
1. Be confident
I always say, “You, yourself is your confidante.” So, the first step you take is to believe yourself no matter whatever you do. The minute you have confidence, you start retrieving whatever you want to acquire.
2. Listen More Talk Less
Often, you have had come across this sentence to be a good listener. A-Ha! Why ought to speak; when it is so transparent that you get to know the blueprint of the conversation. And when it’s your turn, the congregation will listen to you. Likely, to have a ball in your court, first throw it!
3. Learn something new every day
Take out at least 15 mins to learn something new. Make it a habit. It helps to bridge a gap in communication and build self-esteem. According to Benedict Carey, author of the book How We Learn, says regular schedule limits the brain’s ability to learn new skills. Thus, it is worrisome for our happiness. So, feed your brain regularly to strengthen it.
4. Upgrade yourself with the time
Yes, I know time is gold, and gold is valuable. You need to understand self-upgrading is fulfilling in careers. For instance, every month the mobile industry releases something new and updates its software to be exceptional in the market. And we get so excited to have those, correct? Why? It creates brand value. Thus, creating a brand for yourself.
5. Know the use of idioms
Idioms are so fascinating. Adding some to your bucket will make you an effective communicator. Patois share artistic and ancient knowledge and broaden people’s understanding. Whoa! Use it.
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”– Winston Churchill
6. Acknowledge your failures
Travis Bradberry, an author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, writes in a recent article, “Fear of failure is worse than failure itself because it condemns you to a life of unrealized potential.” A simple explanation of your mistakes shows confidence, accountability, and sincerity. So, fix things and rise to the occasion!
7. Practice what you preach
If you follow your own words, people will see you as your role model. When you practice what you preach, it will make people have confidence in you. Hence, building a brand value.
8. Make friends a personal critique
Value your relationship and trust your friends. They are an essential savior. If you have an interview, meetings, or any form of a social get-together, ask your friend to gauge your tonality, scripts, personality, etc. It will help you gain confidence before getting public. Vouch for it!
Communication is an art, do not take it as knowledge. Trends will come and go, remember trendsetters stays!
