Importance of communication

Introduction

Importance of Communication has been emphasized time and again. While some people are born with the quality to communicate well others can learn it with some effort.

Two Way Communication is Important

Communication is said to be effective if it is two way. If only one person does the talking and the other one is not given a chance to put across his point then it is considered to be an unhealthy conversation. Importance of communication must be understood however at the same time people must ensure fair play in the same. Dominating the entire conversation isn’t right and so is letting the other person dominate the same. Be it at home or in a professional setting, people must recognize and realise the importance of two way communication.

Importance of Effective Communication

Many people understand the importance of communication and want to communicate their point to the other people however they are unable to do so. This is because they lack good communication skills. Here are few ways to communicate effectively:

Interruption

Interruption can be extremely annoying. It is essential to let the other person complete his/ her point before you make yours. Constantly interrupting the other person can make them wander from the point and the conversation can take a different turn.

Listen Patiently

Healthy conversation requires listening patiently as much as it requires putting ones point across. In order to communicate effectively you must first listen to what the other person has to say.

Watch Your Body Language

Your body language speaks volumes about you. It is essential to keep your body language warm and friendly rather than arrogant and haughty. Many people unintentionally give a wrong message through their body language. If you are not sure then it is a good idea to learn the art of body language.

Don’t Go Overboard With Your Point

The reason behind conversation is to express your thoughts to let the other person know what you feel. It is not to prove that your point is correct and the other person is wrong. Many people try to win the conversation which is absolutely wrong. It leads to unnecessary arguments and conflicts.

Watch Your Words

Before you say something to someone make sure you know what you are saying. At times, out of anger or anxiousness we say things that we must not say. Remember, words once spoken cannot be taken back. It is thus suggested not to say something you might regret later.

Practice

If there is a professional meeting, where there is a requirement of communicating about your product or work then it is suggested to practice the same beforehand. Choose how your conversation would begin, what all points you would be covering and how you would end it. Practice the same a couple of times in front of the mirror or with a friend.

Conclusion

Jim Rohn once said, “If you just communicate you can get by. But if you communicate skilfully you can work miracles”. So, it is essential to understand the importance of communication. However, it is all the more essential to learn the art of effective communication to put across ones point well.
