Content: It doesn’t take much time and effort to request feedback from the people you’ve spoken with. But time and time again, it can greatly help you to confirm that the message was delivered clearly. Good communicators also ask for confirmation in order to avoid misunderstandings and the resulting problems. This can easily be done by letting the listener summarize the intended course of actions. Additionally to simply asking for confirmation, those who excel at communication also seek the input and feedback of their peers. Doing so allows them to get their listeners involved and makes them feel valued and heard. 5. Cultivate curiosity
There are many tried and tested communication techniques, but none of them are as simple and effective as the unique quality of being curious. By developing a natural interest in the people you communicate with, you’ll quickly build up mutual trust and respect. Not only this, but curiosity will also help you to better understand the motivations of other people.
