5 ways for effective communication
Life is a long journey with short time, often the limited hours which you need to utilize. The direction of the life is often selected by you and you are the only element which will present with yourself at the end of the day. So, you are liable to yourself not others. In our day-to-day life we need something to survive—food, water, air etc. but we are always forgetting something—humans. We as a society live together in order to react, respond and enhance thus we rely on each other. This is the reason why humans are considered as the social animal. We are dependent on others—Man needs Men to survive, often people judge us based on our behavior, character, personality but how does you set into their mind, your personality, your character, your behavior—it’s just the action we do, the reaction we give and most importantly the communication we do.
So, friends here are some effective ways of communication which will help you to maintain your relationship wherever you go:-
1. The thumb rule—Talk about them
Have you observed people who usually talk about themselves only—you call them self-centered, but sorry friends this is not the case always. We as a human had the tendency of talking about ourselves, we like those people who can understand us and believe me it’s the reptilian brain’s magic. So, here the key for building relationship—Talk about them to them, but don’t inquire or judge. Talking to them about them is the best way to establish the base of communication but should be used carefully, just don’t throw bouncers of questions use some communication cues while talking to them.

2. Mid-humor for relaxing
While we are communicating with people some people get bored, it is just because lack of humor. So, the best way is to add humor with communication cues. Catch what the respondent is telling you and just add some humor in it and see the magic. This is often used by public speakers to engage the listeners mind and that to by refreshment mint of words. This step works similar when you do factory reset for your mobile and it starts working smooth. So, just add humor in the conversation.
3. Make the conversation interactive
When we talk to someone it is mandatory for us to make the conversation interactive i.e. let the flow of information and message happens from both side. One side, hoping the message and other side just catching it will not make the content of the message effective, it will only signify that either he or she is not interested in talking to you or he/she is bored or not comfortable. So, to deal with all the situation you need to enhance your interactive skills because this will enhance listeners mind to soak and absorb the information for the continuum of conversation.
4. Communication cues
In any verbal conversation or the communication, the key note to keep the conversation long is done via communication cues, which nothing but just extracting some key clues from respondents answer and just dragging it further in the form of reply back. For example, while talking to your friend he or she said “You know I want to Eminem concert yesterday? It was awesome” and you said “Oho! Eminem I like him a lot, but where did it happen? He/she said: “Seriously, you are not aware about it?” than you said “Yes, I’m not!.” In this way the whole communication is bridging up and instead of saying directly I’m not aware about the concert, communication cues strategy will give you the power to keep the conversation long as well as interesting due to presence of both point of views.
5. Let them ask about you first
I think this is the best way for anyone to make someone feel relaxed and comfortable in whole conversation because here respondent will ask about you only and only if he or she had talked about himself much, often this is used by sales-people to know the customer and enhance the relationship management. However, the demerit of this and the reason why I kept this point in last because you can’t be sure when to trigger the desired point on him or her, this can only be done when he/she get finished and he/she wants to ask.
Eventually, you are building up the best rapport and making the conversation more effective. However, theory is just the part of the book you can only succeed if you try this in practical.
