Communication that happens in office affects the work in progress and also personal life of every employee involved. While one controversial statement from any one person can put him/her into problem; again a generous statement from the same person can set motivation for all in office. Communicating in office is not alone about talking. It can be your junior rolling their eyes to your statements or boss making a carefree look that bothers you in middle of a communication.
So how exactly to ensure that communication from your end goes good when in office?
Here is stating six smart points that you can follow to ensure that communication from your end is healthy and goes good when in office:
Public speaking ability
When in office, it is not about talking to one person. Your idea should be conveyed to your team or may be a large number of people. To ensure that during group communication, your statements are clearly communicated – you have to equip public speaking ability. It is a kind of communication or talking where one speaker addresses a team. Yet no member of the team goes bored in between the communication. The speaker proposes their idea so confident and innovative, that everyone is group communication of office responds to it.
To-the-point notes
The office is not your house and has plenty of speakers around. Hence, while presenting your view you need to go crisp as none has time for prolong communication. In office, while communicating do convey your ideas in a brief manner so that the recipient easily understands and any matter is sorted faster.
Authoritative and assertiveness
In certain cases when you are sure about your views, present them with complete confidence. It is alone your tone of confidence that will make others convinced with what you are saying. If you do not express your views with confidence and let it reach everyone in office, then your idea may just get dumped in your brain. So, to ensure that what you propose is accepted by all in office, you have to be a very confident speaker proposing your idea simply, for best of communication.
Learn nonverbal communication
No communication is only about talking or speaking. Along with the act of speaking or talking, comes in nonverbal communication. For example, when you are stating a command in the office, your voice and body language should be very composed. However, when stating poor performance of your colleagues you can use a little low tone. So, depending on what context you are talking about, you have to present yourself. If your intended speech is not balanced with right body language, then the flow of communication might completely go wrong.
Real time listening
Communication anywhere is a two-way process, where while delivering your ideas, you have to listen to what the recipient reacts. Do not expect that your communication will be one sided where you will only talk and others will obey. When communicating do be a careful listener to what others are saying and try to clarify their doubts. Also, note insights from recipients of communication as that can improve your idea next time.
Being curious
If you are the recipient during communication in office, do not remain silent when the speaker ends. Do feel free to put up all your doubts and get them clarified. Of course, try to avoid stupid queries that spoil time for you and the listener. Your sensible questioning to the speaker will show, your interest and participation in the communication flow.
