Introduction

The ability to communicate effectively is simply a process of exchanging information. It is a process of understanding intension and emotions behind what is being shared. It also is being able to convey a message in a clear way, but also that you can listen in a meaningful way, and the other party feels understood and heard. Choosing to start "How to Communicate Effectively" is a great first step in choosing to become a better and more effective communicator.

Many believe that effective communication is something that is just automatic. That people just know how to communicate effectively without any training. However, this just is not true; when people communicate, it is not uncommon to not be heard the way it was meant. You might say one thing, but someone else hears something different, this leads to frustration, conflicts, and misunderstandings. Which can in turn cause problems in many aspects of your life.

There are very few people who would not benefit from learning how to improve their skills in communicating. Improvement of your communication can lead to greater effectiveness and fewer issues. The process of improving this skill will not just help you in the business world, but also in your personal life. Those who are skilled communicators experience stronger connections with others, greater respect, and trust. They improve teamwork and problem solving, and ultimately overall emotional health.

So, what is preventing you from being an effective communicator? Many things are common roadblocks to effective communication. Your emotions and stress level play a role in your ability to communicate. When you feel emotionally overwhelmed or stressed, there is a greater chance that people will misread your communication. This is because you often are sending out negative or confusing nonverbal signals. As well, stress can cause you to lead to knee-jerk responses and patterns in your behavior. It is important to find ways to center and calm yourself prior to continuing the conversation, but more on that later.

Your ability to focus can affect your communication, especially if you are multitasking. When you are checking your phone, planning the next step, daydreaming you are missing nonverbal cues from the person you are talking with. Effective communication means you need to understand also and pick up on nonverbal cues, which you cannot do if you are distracted by other things and dividing your focus.

Just as the other parties' nonverbal communication, your body language should also be consistent with what you are saying. It is completely possible to say one thing, and your body tells a completely different story. This can lead to the person you are communicating with being confused or worse, thinking you are dishonest. It is not uncommon for us to use negative body language when we disagree. If you dislike or disagree that something you may instinctively cross your arms to send the signal subconsciously, you do not like what is being said. Your body language as a communicator is important, and it is also important to be able to read the other person.

Becoming an effective communicator is an achievable goal, and within the next seven steps, you will find many actionable tips, tricks, and ways for you to up your communication game.

Chapter 1 - Step 1: Engage in Listening

One big mistake people make is thinking that communication is all about what we are saying. When, in fact, effective communication is less about what you say and more about listening. To be an effective listener, you do not simply understand the information or words being spoken, but you also recognize the emotions behind those words.

There is quite a difference between simply hearing someone and being an engaged listener. Those who are really listening, are engaged with the subject, they here the little intonations in the person’s voice. These are cues to how the person is feeling or the emotion that the person wants to communicate or not communicate. As an engaged listener, you can better understand the person speaking, which, in turn, makes that person feel understood and heard—this leads to stronger relationships between you and the speaker.

As you grow in your skills as an engaged listener, you may find that the process lowers your stress and balances your emotional and physical well-being. If you are conversing with someone that is calm, you may find that it calms you as well. If you are speaking with a person who is upset, you also might find that listening attentively and calm manner can make that person feel understood and calm the situation.

As an engaged listener, your goal should be to connect and completely understand the other person speaking. This can be hard when you are just beginning to build your skills as an engaged listener. Nevertheless, the more you practice, the better your skill will become, and you will begin to see the rewards form your actions through your interactions with others. So how do you become a better listener?

Focus on the Speaker

To an engaged listener, your focus should be on the speaker. This means that you should not check your phone or think about other things while they are speaking. When someone else is speaking, you should stay in the moment and focused on the experience. In doing this, you are able to pick up on the subtle cues that are occurring in the conversation. In some instances, when you are struggling to stay focused on the speaker, try repeating what they are saying in your head, this is a great way to reinforce the subject.
