Communication skills are the abilities you use to exchange information with others in various ways. They are important for success in any field, as they help you express yourself and understand others better.

- Know your purpose and audience. Choose the right tone, style, and channel for your communication.

- Be clear and concise. Use simple and direct language, and avoid confusion and misunderstanding.

- Be respectful and empathetic. Show interest and appreciation for the other person's point of view, feelings, and needs. Use polite and positive words, and avoid conflict.

- Be attentive and responsive. Listen actively and attentively, and use non-verbal cues to show your feedback. Ask questions and paraphrase to check your understanding.

- Be adaptable and flexible. Adjust your communication style and strategy according to the situation, context, and feedback. Be open to different opinions and perspectives, and willing to change your mind or approach if needed.

- What are the benefits and challenges of communicating effectively in different situations?

-> Every person is not the same so being aware of diversity definitely makes the communication more effective. 

- How will you practice and improve your communication skills in different situations?

-> Although we do not do this often but I highly think that practicing approaching people and communication beforehand does really helps. With experience only it will get better. So, aspects of practice will always be my go-to guide for improvement.

Oooh I love this topic 💜


communicating effectively means a better transferral of information, which is essential for understanding between two people, if the information is not shared then you won’t be on the same page. However there are challenges, such as emotions, situations, lack of social skills, language barriers, and more.


you can improve social skills by talking to lots of different people :)
