Following on from last Friday this post focuses around ways to improve your communication skills. It is easy to believe that your communication comes down to the words that you use. But the truth is, communication isn’t what you say, it isn’t how you say it and it isn’t down to your body language either.

The meaning of your communication is the response that you get.

Pure and simple, communication is the response that you get from the other person. This means that when you talk to your partner, friends or colleagues you are going to get a response. And the response that you get is the meaning of your communication. It doesn’t matter what words you chose, if they are upset after you said them, then the meaning of your communication was to upset them (And that is how they’ll respond).

By focusing on how the person you’re communicating with responds you can’t help but become a more effective and successful communicator.
