Today I had discussions on how to have effective communication. The questions raised are
1. is it about grammar?
2. is it about what you want to get across?
3. is it about using hi-fi words, phrases and idioms?
4. is it about just talking?
5. is it about how concisely you speak the point?
6. is it about beating around the bush to speak more for simple point?
Some people give suggestions to improve communication for others. Do they understand what you're saying when they are lacking communication skills? :)
Unless you explain them what is it you identified lacking in that person, there is no use in rising improve communication skills?
Person may be good at grammar, may be lacking necessary vocabulary or the other way round. This comes under a language issue, but it doesn't come under communications skills. There are many writers or orators know less words or grammar, but impressed the public most. This comes under theoretical learning and person should learn rules and words by heart.
Persons are perfect in vocabulary and grammar, but they will not be able express their views. This is a skill needs to be developed and it is a bit practical.
It needs interactions. These interactions makes a subject under discussions. These discussions explores views from each person. Here we need to use vocabulary and grammar. So these discussions could involve simple sentences or hi-fi phrases, idioms in sentences.
If we guide a person with clear distinction of what he lacks on communications front, it is easy for that person to develop.
While speaking ,it is always good to use simple sentences rather than decorated with hi-fi phrases and idioms which will make others misunderstand actual meaning of a sentence. :)
May be while scripting, we can choose to show up capacity of our mind dictionary. :)
