6 Ways to improve your communication skills:

To be a more effective leader, you can improve your communication skills.

Here are 6 ways to improve your skills.

1: You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.

In 1990, a Stanford University graduate was able to prove that the audience pays more attention to how much the audience understands. In a study known as "Tappers and Listeners," a group of participants were asked to tap the lyrics to 120 popular songs. Other participants were asked to guess which song was being tapped.

Tappers estimate that 50% of the taped songs will be correctly identified. In fact, only 2.5% of the songs were correctly identified. This study shows that when exchanging new ideas, it is important to communicate clearly, and to communicate as much as possible. As this study suggests, it is likely that the audience will fail to absorb more than you expected.

2: Get to know your audience

In order to communicate effectively, it is important that you first get to know your audience. Each audience is different, and will have different preferences and cultural principles to consider when discussing. A great way to understand expectations is to ask the audience members for examples of good communication within the organization.

3: Feel free to talk everything

When lawyers present a case to the United States Supreme Court, they usually speak nonsense. That said, lawyers write a series of topics they want to discuss, but they don't memorize what they will say word for word. This mode of communication allows lawyers to cover all the important points presented by the case, while also allowing them to discuss how to communicate based on audience feedback or questions.

4: Be a listener

Listen more than you can. Richard Branson refers to business people who want to connect with others. To communicate effectively, listen to others first. You can then provide a thought-provoking answer that shows that you have taken these ideas into account.

5: Add novelty to improve audience retention

A recent study has revealed that people generally retain more information when presented with a novel, than usual, situations. To help public members retain information, consider injecting some kind of novel event into a presentation. It could be something funny, or something that might surprise people.

6: Learn the basics of non-traditional communication

One study found that 55% of rude communication is about how the audience perceives an offer. This means that most of what you say is expressed not through words but through physical gestures.

To communicate clearly and confidently, adopt the appropriate currency. Avoid crushing, clasping arms, or pretending to be younger than you are. Instead, fill in the space you are given, keep eye contact and (if appropriate) circle around the space.
