Introduction

We speak to many people daily, but how much of our communication reaches the intended recipient as we hoped?

Being effective communicators means exchanging information with clarity, empathy, and understanding. It is when two people exchange thoughts, ideas, opinions, and knowledge, so the message is clear and understood.

Effective communication requires clarity, correctness, completeness, conciseness, and compassion.

Surveys show that businesses lose money due to poor communication skills. According to the Society for Human Resource Management studies, poor workplace communication is estimated to cost $37 billion (translates to an average annual cost of $62.4 million per company) and $420,000 for companies with 100,000 or more employees and 100 employees, respectively

Companies with great communicators have 50% higher returns to shareholders than companies with ineffective communicators.

Effective communication is an essential skill in the workplace and at home. It ensures that your words are easily understandable and that you can successfully convey your thoughts without confusion. It increases productivity and eliminates the possibility of misunderstandings.

I like to think of communication as a two-way process. It includes both how we send and receive messages. It also includes both the reading/listening and decoding of messages.

Think about it - how would you tell the other person what you want, need, or feel if you don't communicate?

Here's the thing - humans cannot read your mind. You must communicate your thoughts.

Communication is essential to the success of humanity. Communication relies on tools like language and body language to expand understanding between people. Communication can happen in many ways, such as writing, speaking, and more.

Communication skills include three types: verbal, non-verbal, and written.

Verbal skills - allow us to express ourselves to others and convey meaning through words. You must choose your words carefully, but you must also pay attention to how you talk and when you speak.

Nonverbal skills - involves sending messages without speaking via body language or physical movements. Facial expressions and body position hint at how a person feels without having to say anything. Our body language can reveal more than we think; it might show that we're not open to communicating with someone when we say, I'm good.

Written communication - In this era of digital communication, people's interactions are primarily written. Emails and chat messages take up the bulk of conversations, including personal emails and customer service chats. If you're managing a remote team, it's essential to consider your written communication skills.

Effective communication skills are a prerequisite for successful performance on both business and personal levels. Developing a process for communication helps you to understand better what a coworker is saying and will allow you to work with them more collaboratively. It helps us overcome diversity, create trust and respect, and offer the opportunity to share creative ideas and solve problems.
