Communication Skill

Communication skill….

What is it and how do you get it ? More importantly what do you do with it once you have it.
This article should answer all of these questions for you so lets take them one at a time.

What is Communication skill ?

Communication skill is the ability to convey your ideas, thoughts and passions with other people in such a way that they can hear and understand the meaning you’re trying to get across. Seems simple enough doesn’t it…?

The reality is that most of the problems in the world are due to peoples inability to carry out this apparently easy task.

So what are the things that get in the way ?

By the way if you’re one of the people that find communication difficult, it’s not your fault. You were never taught just how important communication skill is by your parents or at school and in most cases they didn’t know how to teach you, anyway.

I’ve been there too…

And until I sorted out my ability to get the message across I was a stuttering fool with a speech impedement and a gawky stance.

How do you get communication skill ?

There’s a couple of things that you can do. They all involve you having to actually do something. ( It’s tough I know…. but you’ll love your self once you’ve done it )

First off work out why you want to improve your communication skills. What is it about your current skill level that’s holding you back from getting what you want ? Is it that job, the girl or guy that you want to be with or maybe it’s as simple as being able to get on with your kids. These are all valid reasons.

You can look at these reasons in two ways. What you want..To be confident, the life and soul of the party, the guru or even the boss.

And you can look at what you don’t want. To feel shy, lonely and like a wilting wall flower waiting there for someone to come over and talk to you at a party. ….Maybe even just to get an invite to a party….

And here’s the bonus…

Once you have sharpened up your communication skills you get more confident about approaching people and talking with them. In fact you get more confident all round.

Period !

Next thing to do after you’ve worked out your reasons to improve communication for you, is to get clear on a plan. Now I’m not expecting you to know how to do that.

Let’s look at a few ideas that are easy for you to do and that cost you next to nothing.
1/ Go to a library and lay your hands on a stack of books on communication skill. THEN take them home with you and READ THEM !

Take all of the tips and tricks inside of those books and put them into practise. This is the secret of the richest and MOST successful people on the planet.

They actually do stuff !! 

All those other folks don’t even take the cellophane off of the stuff that they buy on the net or in Borders. They do nothing so they change nothing.

I figure that if you’ve read this far

you’re not one of those people.

Whew..! I’d hate to think I was sitting here writing this if you’re not gonna read it !  Or worse still read this and then not take action. You don’t strike me as that type of person.

 Back to improving your communication skill.

In the space of a weekend you can get through a stack of books or DVDs or tapes. In fact whatever works best for you is what’s best for you.

There’s one more thing that makes this work better> Two in fact but one thing at a time…
First thing.Make NOTES. That’s it. Simply by pulling out the bits that interest you and writing them down you will increase your memory of what you’ve read by somewhere around 27%. You’ll be ahead of the game in no time.

The next thing is….(  and this is really really important  ) is to practise what you learn. Do it every day. set your self up a schedule and stick to it

like GLUE.

The reason for this is that every champion who has ever been great practises every day. Without fail.

Here’s the thing

Nobody but you has to know that you’re doing all that practising. You probably have a bathroom or a bedroom or some other quiet place that you can use until you’re confident enough to let yourself loose on the world.

Now I hear you say that you don’t want to be a champion and you don’t hav eto be. NOPE!! It’s fine to do what you need to do until you get what you want. If you need to you can go back and re-read the first part of this article.

Another thing that you should do is to pat yourself on the back for taking action.

Unlike around 70% of the population you are getting off of your butt and doing something for you that will make incredible changes in your life…

Plese get back to me and let me know how you’re doing and remember to check back here regularly as I’m planning to set up a free resource page on this site that you’ll be able to access…

NOW -Go get ‘em !

PS Don’t beat your self up if you don’t get there straight away. In life there’s only two results you can get. Success or Feedback on what you can improve on
