Doing "Five Mores" lays the foundation for improving communication skills

1. Read more

2. Watch more

The so-called reading more means to frequently browse the Internet, watch TV, movies, read newspapers, and read magazines to obtain the hot information of today's society, so as to find topics of common interest when communication is dull, and then lead to the theme you want to express;

3. Write more

The so-called writing more means improving your calligraphy and writing skills by practicing writing with a fountain pen (Mao) and writing articles, enhancing your cultural taste in the eyes of others, and thus laying the foundation for the impression of communication.

4. Hyperactivity

The so-called being more active means going out more often and participating in activities such as parties, lectures, yoga, swimming, ball games, etc. to increase your social circles and lay the foundation for communication.

5. Think more

The so-called thinking means thinking frequently. By thinking and simulating the other party's psychological activities, you can improve your ability to respond and remain calm and speak wittily no matter what situation you encounter during the communication process.

Several skills to pay attention to in communication

1. Choose the right communication method

The so-called communication does not mean face-to-face communication. In addition to verbal communication, communication can also be achieved through written communication such as letters and text messages. Different communication methods should be used in different situations to achieve the desired effect. For example, when the other person is angry with you, you don’t have the opportunity to communicate with him/her face to face, and you may end up with half the effort and twice the results. At this time, you should choose to communicate through text communication such as letters.

2. Seize every opportunity to communicate

Sometimes when the other party is busy, you will lose the opportunity to communicate if you don’t try. You should tell the other party in time that your communication with him will only take a short time, such as please give me one minute. In this way, you may have the opportunity to communicate. As long as your language is interesting enough and the topic is attractive enough, the other party may give you more time to communicate.

Tips: Take advantage of every available opportunity. You can use the time while waiting for the elevator or even the opportunity to communicate with the other party in the elevator car.
