Content: And probing – a “diligent and thorough inquiry or investigation” – using focused and appropriate questions has been shown to improve understanding during communication and facilitate knowledge acquisition (Selvalakshmi, 2012). 10 Basic Techniques
Effective communication does not have to be complicated. Indeed, the following list contains basic guidance available to us all in verbal and nonverbal situations: Maintain eye contact. The speaker needs to know that the listener is attending to what is said, and the listener wants assurance that the speaker is engaged in what they are saying to their audience. Maintain appropriate body language. Consider whether nonverbal techniques could confuse, promote, or negate the message. For example, head shaking, nodding, smiling, leaning forward, leaning back, and how you are sitting or standing while you talk may change the tone and even the content of the message. Use people’s names. When a group is small enough, using someone’s name can begin and maintain rapport while reinforcing a sense of belonging.
