Listen first
Listening is a crucial tool of conversation; understand what the next person is trying to say. You shouldn’t miss any key information said by the next person. If you’re just pretending to listen, that might lead to misunderstanding. And, after the person has finished sharing information, you go ahead. If you didn’t get what the other person said, ask immediately or it will too lead to misunderstanding.
Make communication a two-way process
Don’t make a conversation awkward. One shouldn’t be talking while you remain silent the whole time. This might lead to a poor relationship between two people. Try engaging in active conversation and make it a nice dialogue. It is important to build and flourish the relationship between people, and two-way message transmission can help with it.
Speak clear
To avoid confusion situation and ensure that the next person understands you, speak clearly. When you speak, be sure that you are conveying important information. Don’t miss to convey important matters. Also, make sure that the next person is actively listening to you.
Be positive
Be sure that your message brings a positive environment. Many people speak negatively most of the time and that might hamper the next person. By speaking positively, you can also help the next person lower stress levels. When you become a positive speaker, people are more likely to listen to you and the conversation goes better.
Be respectful
Respectful conversation is when you listen carefully and respond gently to others. Even if you don’t agree with the next person show respect towards their opinion. This can help you build strong relationships and understand other’s perspectives. Listen graciously and talk politely to the other person.
Trust
To build up trust in a conversation, you should have a conversation consistently. Also, have a meaningful conversation and make the next person comfortable while talking. While talking, be open and honest. Share the information from your side quickly and freely. Speak what is truth and that way you can build trust in conveying message.
Don’t mix up information
For example, if it’s business message, don’t mix up personal matters. People mostly tend to mix up professional and personal lives while talking. This might lead to decreased morale or even accusations. Try to talk more about the conversation matter rather than bringing personal lives during the talk.
Be transparent
Embrace transparency while communicating. This helps to build trust and effective conversation. Don’t hide any information while communicating. Be honest and reveal every important information.
