Importance of Communication Skills

What is Communication?

No need to confuse things .Communication is simply the  transfer of ideas,opinions,information and feelings through language.


We need to communicate in various situations such as asking for information, public speaking, meetings , making presentations , conveying messages and arguing our case in front of our team and boss.

Real Barriers when we communicate


Fear
Yes , fear....
Something that never existed but appears true....like a mirage
Right before you speak you have this funny feeling that the whole world hates you......
You feel the butterflies in your stomach.....there is that churning in your stomach.....the breakfast that you've had this morning wants to come out......you are confused....you start to sweat and your mind just goes blank and you just forget what you planned to say.....

Just think about this......

You have completed high school and college in flying colors......you have overcome many obstacles in life....you have waited in line for your hall ticket...you have proposed to your girlfriend....you have fought and won many fights.....you have reached all your goals with courage and confidence....but the one thing that baffles you is " why am I unable to speak my mind or make a presentation?

Fear rules the minds of even the biggest geniuses . Fear is something that the mind finds hard to put in a nutshell. It takes great courage to face our fears and to overcome them.

Steps to overcome fear of speaking

Read newspaper aloud.....
This  is a great way to overcome the fear of speaking. You get accustomed to hearing your own voice. You feel relaxed and as time goes by you feel nice and you believe that you can speak confidently.

Record your voice as you read  a paragraph from the newspaper. This gives you an out of the box view of yourself and this process increases your confidence.

Go shopping
Yes you heard it right . Go shopping. Its an order!
When you shop ask questions to the salesman about a shoe, a laptop, or a gadget.
This increases your ability to question anything or everything!
You feel in charge of the situation and this builds your confidence.

Don't bother about what people think!
Just start speaking don't waste time thinking .
Make a start and you'll surely progress towards being a better communicator
