Importance of Good Communication Skills in Personal and Professional Life

Before we discuss the aspects of your life you need to tweak to develop and improve your communication skills, it is essential to discuss the importance of good communication abilities in your personal and professional life. When you know why possessing excellent communication and persuasion skills is important, you will find the motivation, commitment, and will power needed to pursue these endeavors.

Communication Skills: Are They That Important?

Paul J. Meyer, a motivational author and founder of the Personal Development Industry, said something that encompasses the need for effective communication skills; he said:

"Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success."

Let us dig deeper into this wonderful quote and find out how your communication skills improve your career and personal life.

Strengthens Relationships

"Communication in a relationship is like oxygen to life. Without it, it dies."- Tony Gaskins

According to psychology experts, relationships reach their deathbeds when communication ceases to exist. If you want your relationships with loved ones, colleagues, business partners, and just about any other person you can think of to thrive, you must make communication a priority; you must openly express yourselves, discuss pressing or concerning issues with them, and listen to what they have to say. All of this is only possible when you have good communication skills.

When you can communicate effectively, you have the power to extinguish a fiery situation without raising your voice. The amazing skill of effective communication gives you the ability to resolve conflicts, influence others, and effectively listen to their problems. When these things start happening in your relationships, your relationships strengthen.

Builds New, Stronger Relationships

Good communication skills not only fortify existing relationships, they also improve your ability to start new ones. Unless you interact with them, it is impossible to make new friends and contacts, and if your communication skills are strong, it is likely that you will find it easy to mingle with others and use this to build new, strong relationships.

Gives You a Voice

If you cannot communicate effectively, your voice will become a dim whisper: no one cares to listen to a dim whisper. When your voice becomes meek, something common in those with underdeveloped communication skills, your opinions and thoughts stay locked up inside your mind where nobody, yourself included, can comprehend them; this makes it difficult for others and yourself to make head or tail of your needs and wants. Good communication skills, on the other hand, give you the ability to express yourself in order to voice your needs, wants, and desires. When you speak powerfully, others feel compelled to pay attention and focus on what you are saying.

Boosts Your Confidence

When you know you have the power to vocalize your thoughts, your confidence automatically increases. Effective communication abilities immensely improve your confidence, which causes you to believe in yourself and encourages you to pursue your desire.

Enjoy Amazing Professional Success

"Your ability to communicate is an important tool in the pursuit of your goals."- Les Brown

Effective communication skills help you pursue your goals and eventually actualize them. When you possess effective communication skills, you objectify success in your professional life because when you can clearly communicate your message to your audience, you effectively help them understand what you want. This helps you maintain healthy lucrative business arrangements, and maximize profits. Moreover, when you are an effective communicator, you form great business contacts and when you have good networks, you are likely to enjoy great opportunities.

Become an Inspirational Public Speaker

By enhancing your communication skills, it is easy for you to become an influential public speaker. This gives you the ability to empower people, help them better themselves, and spread goodness wherever you go. Effective communicating (especially the public speaking kind) enables you to raise awareness on different issues amongst the public and communicate your message to them.

Yehuda Berg, author of the bestselling book The Power of Kabbalah has some powerful words about words. He states;

Having seen at the telling benefits you can derive from being an effective communicator, let us discuss exactly how you can become an effective communicator.

How To Improve Communication in All Aspects of Your Life: Salient Points and Strategies

To attain social intelligence and master the art of communicating with others, you need to work on certain key strategies. In this section, we shall examine the key points and tactics you need to work on to become a brilliant communicator.

1st Strategy: Communicate Assertively

Assertive communication is one of the key strategies you need to cultivate to become a powerful communicator and speaker. You need to be emphatic and forceful in your speech so that others take you seriously and know that you know what you are saying. Unfortunately, speaking assertively is often confused with speaking aggressively; the two are not the same. Well, that truth is that aggression is one of the elements involved in assertive communication; however, it does not refer to speaking harshly or in an angry tone. Two key elements differentiate assertiveness and aggressiveness. They are:

1.Balance: Assertiveness thrives on the foundation of balance. It demands you to be forthright regarding your needs, wants, and rights, while still taking into account the needs, wants, and rights of others. When you become assertive, you demand your own rights, without intentionally snatching the rights of others.

2.Victory: Aggressiveness focuses entirely on winning. When you are aggressive, you do everything that is in your own best interests without regarding the rights, feelings, and needs of others. You do not ask for your rights, rather, you take without considering the implications.

With that understanding, let’s now discuss a bit about how to become an assertive communicator.

How to Become an Assertive Communicator

Now that you know the difference between assertive and aggressive speaking, let us discuss how to become an assertive and energetic speaker and effectively convey your message to your listeners and make them actually pay attention to you.

Value Yourself and Your Rights

Firstly, value yourself and understand you are an individual with thoughts, rights, feelings, desires, demands and needs that are as important and valuable as everyone else’s. Tell yourself that you have the right to express yourself and be taken seriously; from now henceforth, you are going to protect your rights and needs by speaking up for yourself. Comprehend that you are important; however, you are nonetheless not superior to anyone else just like nobody is superior to you.

Stop Being Apologetic 24/7

While realizing your mistakes and seeking apology from others for it is definitely a good practice and keeps you humble, being apologetic 24/7 for everything is not healthy.

To become authoritative, stop apologizing to people for things you did not do and become confident in yourself. For that to happen, differentiate between your mistakes and the mistakes of others. When you did not err, tell yourself that it is not your fault, and instead of apologizing for it, excuse yourself from the scenario.

Feel Your Anger but Positively Channel it

According to expert psychotherapist Andrea Brandt, the biggest obstacle most of us experience while learning assertive communication is the belief that anger is not good and its expression has to be volatile in nature.

She states that anger is a natural and a very normal emotion. If used in a healthy manner, it can easily help you become confident and assertive. To become a confident and emphatic communicator, feel your anger and instead of fighting to subdue it, positively channel it, and let it transform you. Use it to become self-assured and influential.

To do that, become mindful of your anger. Whenever you become angry, leave the volatile situation, and don’t speak to the person who has triggered your anger until you have gained complete command over this emotion. Immediately the anger flares, go somewhere quiet and feel that emotion rising and building inside you. Let it evolve at its own pace in your body and mind and feel its presence inside you. Let the boiling lava cool down on its own. Tell yourself that experiencing anger is not synonymous to being negative. The wrong way of using it is what makes it negative. Once you have become calm, write down all details related to your anger to get better insight into your anger.

Next, you are going to form a mission. On a piece of paper, write the following down, I am going to speak assertively to the people who stimulated my anger. I am going to express my anger in a positive manner. This suggestion will motivate you to channel your anger in a positive manner.

Focus On the ‘I’ In Your Speech

Your next task is to focus on incorporating more ‘I’ in your speech. Focus on yourself instead of focusing your energies on others. For instance, instead of telling someone, You are wrong, you should say, I disagree with your point. By adding ‘I’ to your speech, you give importance to yourself. You make others feel your opinion counts a lot and you greatly value yourself. Remember, people shower respect on those who respect themselves; therefore, give yourself lots of respect and love to make others do the same.

If focusing on yourself does not come naturally to you, practice it. Write down all the things you want to tell others and begin them with ‘I’ or include ‘me’, ‘my’, ‘my rights’ and ‘my desires’ in them. Practice this tactic for about 20 minutes once or twice daily and within two weeks, you will be able to focus more on what you want. This tip particularly comes in handy when you are dealing with loved ones, and when you want them to understand your needs and rights in a relationship. For instance, if you are tired of your parent’s unfounded commands and wishes, or if you are tired of fulfilling other people’s demands, you must let them know you know your rights and are willing to fight for them.

Say No

Meanwhile, you must also practice saying no and refuse to be their valet 24/7. If you are not assertive, chances are you are a people pleaser; others misuse you and take advantage of
