Many people who take our elocution lessons want to feel comfortable in communication. They often tell us that they feel shy and lack confidence in business meetings, when presenting and socialising. In our apps, books and blogs we offer a wealth of techniques to master articulation, pronunciation, and voice modulation.
In this blog post, I would like to point out what makes communication enjoyable.
1. Feeling relaxed and calm.
2. Keeping it light.
3. Using humour
5. Positive attitude
6. Common interests
8. Compliments and encouragement
9. Active listening. The value of active listening is that a person who you are listening to will like you and become open to listening to you. This way you can establish rapport with them.
In contrast, things that make communication hard are:
1. Tension
2. Heavy topics
3. Being too serious
4. Rushed speech
5. Negative attitude
6. Lack of common topics to talk about
7. Cold, robotic speech
8. Criticism and judging
9. Interrupting each other
To sum up, in order to enjoy communication do things that make it enjoyable and avoid those that make it hard.
