The Top 11 Communication Skills That Will Make You a Star !

Effective Communication Skills in all your Relationships is Essential.

Whether you are in a relationship with a significant other, dealing with a family member or a business prospect understanding how to express your intentions effectively will make all the difference in the world.

My secret weapon is observation and the ability to tune in and sense someone’s personality. I tune into to their energy vibration. If you can connect on the level of energy you will have a powerful connection right from the beginning.

When you start to really pay attention to people and take your focus off yourself and on to the person or people you are communicating with you will be amazed at the important information you can pick up on without asking. By tuning in you find out what makes the other person tick.

You can sense if they are responsive to your energy level, if not you can easily adjust that so they feel comfortable with you. When you match someones energy they relax allowing the communication to flow. Other benefits of observation is understanding what type person you are speaking with. People look for other people like themselves and when your energy matches that is the beginning of a real connection on a deeper level.

Always find the commonalities you share with someone and believe me there will always be something if not many things. This is where you bond with a new person and without this component you will miss an opportunity to connect in such a way that person will never forget you.

1. Listen Intently - If everyone did that 80% of divorces would never take place. The best compliment you can give someone is you undivided attention.

2. Direct Eye Contact - People want to believe you; do not give them a reason not to because you will not look them in the eye when you talk.

3. Interpretation - Repeat what you heard the person say is the best way to eliminate confusion. Everyone will take what you say and run it through their belief system based on any number of factors including their mood at any given time.

4. Use Graphics Often - Whenever possible use images that show what you mean. This catches people's attention right away. It helps you show people what your story is about bringing it to life beyond the words.

5. Stay Aware - Observe the person or people you are talking to for their level of comprehension. This gives you the opportunity to adjust your delivery and clear up any misperception right away.

6. Do not jump to conclusions. - Always, ask questions first. This works perfectly in an impromptu business meeting where you may not have all the facts. It works even better in a situation where you think something is happening but you don't know if what you think is true or just your perception. Better to use your communication skills to find out the true intent.

7. Express Gratitude - Convey your appreciation whenever possible by telling people why you like something they did, said or gave you. The two words in the English language that all people respond to positively, Thank- You use these words often and generously.

8. Balance is a Key Communication Skill. - Speak at an even pace matching the energy of the person or people you want to communicate with. - If you speak to slow people will fall asleep, speak too fast and they will tune you out. Speak just right for them and they hear you every time.

9. Connect with Your Audience of One or One Thousand. - High Level of Engagement,always let them know you care. By attentively listening to someone is a compliment of the highest degree. Don't start to think about your next sentence while the other person is talking that is not listening.

10. Passion - Show your passion about the subject at hand. Your excitement is contagious, that positive energy spreads like wild fire. If you are a motivational speaker this will be your key to success and the best communication skill ever.

11. Focus - Stay on one subject at a time. Keep your conversation easy to follow. No one wants to go on a wild goose chase to find the hidden message.

The Most Important Communication skill is make the conversation about them. If you start out with you, you, you and your wondering why your not getting very far with most people that is a turn off point blank. I will tell you a secret, the person who does the most talking in any situation always thinks the conversation went great.

Take the time to develop your communication skills and you will see the world open up to you.
