The things we learn in school, like math, grammar and science, are obviously important and useful to know, but without a doubt one of the most important life skills to master is communicating with others and not is something that is usually taught in a school curriculum.
"Our whole life is just a series of conversations," explains Charreah K. Jackson, a communications consultant.
"We do not value the power of communication to transform our lives," she adds. "But clearly, it's a big part of everyday life."
Më poshtë, paraqiten katër këshilla efektive të komunikimit që jo vetëm do t'ju ndihmojnë të lidheni me të tjerët, por gjithashtu mund të ndryshojnë për mirë jetën tuaj.
1. Thoni “jo” kur keni nevojë
Sa herë që thoni "po" për të bërë diçka, ju jeni duke thënë "jo" për të gjitha gjërat e tjera që do donit të bënit në vend të saj. Pra, kur nuk jeni në gjendje të thoni "jo" në punë ose në jetën tuaj personale, atëherë ju jeni duke thënë "jo" për ëndrrat tuaja dhe mënyrat e tjera që mund të kaloni kohën tuaj të vlefshme.
Jini të sinqertë me veten nëse mund të bëni diçka dhe nëse nuk mundeni. Është e rëndësishme të komunikoni kufijtë tuaj dhe të thoni jo nëse është e nevojshme.
2. Mësoni të delegoni
You may think that taking on all the work will make you look more productive and better at your job, but this is not always the case.
Every great person has help to get to where he is.
How to delegate effectively?
- First, remember that delegating is not just about throwing a to-do list at someone else.
- Make sure you take the time to answer each question and make sure the team member handling the task is clear and confident about what needs to be done.
- You must also communicate the desired outcomes, resources, and expectations to execute a task.
3. Navigate the odds
People have different opinions, of course, but when it comes to disagreements with others, Jackson says it is first important to re-evaluate who, where and for what we are giving our energy.
Usually, in a work environment or elsewhere, although opinions may be different, the purpose and objectives are the same.
Therefore, take a deep breath, stand on the ground, and focus first on the fact that you are working toward the same goal.
"Identifying common goals gives us a foundation to build any conversation."
That way, even if you are in conflict with each other, you know you belong to the same party and you are not "opposing."
Also make sure you listen carefully to the other person. You may disagree, but perhaps at the end of the conversation, someone else's idea or strategy may be more convincing than yours.
4. Ask and ask what you need
Remember : Everyone gives support somewhere and everyone needs support. If you do not ask for help or something, get out of this balance.
One trick you can use is to try to present your demands as a victory for both parties.
Remember that good communication requires practice. Therefore, do not be afraid in the face of any opportunity given to you to speak, and if you are afraid, do it anyway! Your self will thank you.
