hey have you ever played chinese whispers oh i did so the game is where you carry a message that was
told to you by the first person then you take that message to the second person and your message will
be carried from the second person to the third and the chain goes on but you know the fun part
the fun part is that the message told by the first person will be something very different and funny
by the time it has reached the sixth or seventh person now why did i share about this this is
because the key element to this game is effective communication you mess up because of many tiny
glitches along the chain and friends today we will be talking about those same glitches in our day to
day life let's begin number one listening remember as much as you would want to be heard the opposite
person would also want the same from you see to have the most effective communication you need to
always listen to what the other person is saying no matter what they are saying always give your
100 to be a good listener people enjoy having conversations when the other person is not just
talking continuously but listening to also a mini bonus tip is while you are listening to someone
nod your head gently this assures the opposite person that you are paying attention to them
and hence that creates a better impression number two be on point priyanka chopra once
said you need to respect someone else's time as much as you would want your time to be respected
and that is very true see the point is that when you talk you need to also understand that
the other person is taking their time out to speak to you and hence it is very important to
know that you cannot just keep talking and talking and talking and talking but rather
be on point and talk this will also help the other person to initiate a conversation with you because
they know that you're talking sense and on point number three body language your body language
plays a huge role in effective communication this is because when you are quiet it's only through
your body language that you can talk some of the things that you need to keep in mind is folding
of the hands this portrays that you disagree or you're shutting the opposite person's opinions
when you yawn you tend to give a message that you're not interested in the other person's talk
when you keep shaking your legs it does mean that you want to leave number four tone of your
voice if you actually notice when you talk it won't be your words that may hurt people
but your tone of voice would that's right believe it or not but people do pay attention to your
tone of voice when you talk and most importantly the arguments or miscommunication occurs because
people have not paid attention to their tone of voice so remember for you to have an effective
communication you need to watch your tone of voice usually a calm and soft tone of voice works
wonders number five smile one thing you can add to make your communication an effective one is having
a decent smile on your face while you talk now make sure that you are not creeping the person out
don't fake a smile but keep your smile a genuine one by this you gain the opposite
person's confidence and trust while talking and hence making your conversation more effective
number six think before you speak now a lot of times what happens is you tend to think something
but say something completely ridiculous and then you wonder what went wrong i will tell you what
went wrong as much as you wanted to hurry and talk you forgot the most important point and
that was to think before you talk this is a big no-no while building effective communication
hence make sure you realize how important it is to always think before you speak a bonus tip
is people actually pay more attention to you when you think about something and then speak
or give your opinion rather than just talk found this helpful comment down below which
point will you inculcate also do let us know which one actually works for you thank you
