Weak Communication skills...Need a solution??

It is truly said that the first impression is the last impression, and when it comes to communication skills you bet it is !!!

I am absolutely certain that many people would have faced the situation of self ignominy only because they have a lack of communication skills, many would have faced the snobbish behavior of their boss or their colleagues at the workplace just because of this lack of skill. 

It is very well said that " Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it ".

One has to work very hard to get what they desire of and it is never over until one decides so. Remember that you will succeed only if this desire for improving your overall personality is not ephemeral. So gear up to make your first impression as the everlasting impression. Here are some tips to really improve your communication skills. 

1) Firstly, point out the issues you are facing congenial to your communication skills.

This is the most important step towards your journey of improvement in communication skills. You need to identify that what is the thing that makes your communication skills look bad, whether it is your shortened vocab or when you speak to someone you are not able to speak looking into their eyes with an absolute firm look etc. etc. etc. You really need to do an honest introspection, then only you can pass onto the next step of improvement.

2) Now standardize your level of communication.

It is very important as after this only you will have a feeling that yes this is a benchmark for me and I can't go down from this. This benchmark is not something you have to set consciously, it will be automatic after you start speaking or communicate in English on a daily basis. 

3) Improve your vocabulary. 

Now after having a benchmark, it is the time for you to learn new words and not just learn them remember them, and most importantly apply them to the various situations you face in your daily life. I am not saying that you have to learn the whole dictionary, obviously its not humanly possible as there are many words which get invented daily and then printed into the dictionary. Learn simple but different words, that you can use in your daily routine. Look for synonyms and antonyms, this will greatly help you learn something new.

4) Become a voracious reader and listener.

If you seriously want your communication skills to be improved and laudable you need to have the habit of reading. You should read English newspapers, magazines, etc. on a regular basis. 

It is a huge misconception that communication skills include only speaking skills, no that's absolutely rubbish to say. You must have excellent listening skills because then only you will be able to give the perfect required answer. You should have a habit of a keen listener. It's really very important !!!

5) Never ever try to talk rubbish.

This is a very common mistake made by almost everyone and it is a mistake which is venial. There's nobody who would like to listen to your rubbish talks which directly implies that you should talk point to point. If you don't know anything and you are bragging then you are on the wrong path, everyone including your close friends abhors this type of facade. So it's ok if you don't know something, just say "I don't have any information regarding this, very sorry" that's it. 

6) Build your confidence.

It is the issue that needs to be addressed surely. It happens almost with everybody that when you are trying to express your thoughts on a particular topic and you can't either because of the lack of vocab or mainly because of the lack of confidence, shyness of what he or she will think of me and blah blah blah...

I know it's easier said than done, but guys anyhow you need to overcome your fear. Try to speak in front of mirror looking straight with firm confidence. Surely it will be an exhausting task but you need to overcome that fear of yourself this is the obstacle you need to break for sure and a time will come when you will truly feel that the saying " Practice makes a man perfect " suits you the most.
