All the skills in the world will not help you communicate effectively if you are not interested in other people and in the world around you. You should think about how you would like people to treat you and then treat them in the same way.

If you want to be a good communicator you take the following into account:

A good communicator remembers people’s names, greet them in a friendly manner and speak to them with courtesy and respect.

A good communicator knows that what he communicates non-verbally can be more meaningful than the words he uses so he always sends the suitable non-verbal message that supports his words.

A good communicator focuses on the person with whom he is speaking. He makes this person feel like the most important person in his universe. It will definitely enhance the effectiveness of communication.

A good communicator listens as much or more than he talks. Listening is one of the most effective ways to show interest in another person. Effective listening involves more than remaining silent. Nod your head in agreement, make little response noises, use prompters like “interesting” or “tell me more,” or ask pertinent questions to show you are paying attention. Open-ended questions that require more than a yes or no answer encourage the other person to talk.

A good communicator is positive and polite. He masters the rules of etiquette and good manners since these are what grease the wheels of effective interpersonal relationships.

A good communicator usually read great books to develop his communication skills. He is also interested in learning the proper way to speak well because he believes in the saying “Speech is a mirror of the soul. As a man speaks, so is he“
