How to Improve Your Communication Skills.

When you look at the greatest leaders in various strata, you will find that the common denominator amongst them is the ability to communicate effectively. This underscores the importance of communication skills in whatever field you may find yourself in.
Years ago, the Conference Board of Canada, an independent research organisation, developed the Employability Skills 2000+, which lists the critical skills employees need to succeed in the workplace. Communication skills, top the list of fundamental skills needed to succeed in the workplace. It’s our responsibility to keep honing our communication skills for optimum results at the workplace.

Think Before You Speak.
Always pause before you speak, not saying the first thing that comes to mind. Take a moment, and pay close attention to what you say and how you say it. This is one habit that will enable you to avoid embarrassment and regrets. Remember, once you say it, you can’t unsay it. You won’t be able to make people forget what they heard you say easily. Commit to thinking before you speak and note the impact.
