how to develop communication skills and personality?
365285
Personality is such a subjective thing. You have a personality. As for communication skills, there are a lot of courses out there, but as far as I'm concerned they can all be summed up with a line from Dale Carnegie - "you get more honey when you don't kick over the beehive". Treat other people with friendly intent, explain your reasoning, NEVER lose your temper. Explaining your position and asking someone to help you will always get you further than threats.\n\nThat's how to get things done at work, shopping, etc. As for personal life - try to find a common interest with someone. Sport, travel, family, what was on telly last night- they're all good starting points, and as long as you make sure that you let them do the talking you will learn more about them which means you can find out what drives them and use that to ask questions relevant to their interests. Surprisingly, the more you do this the more interesting a person they will think you are!\n\nBest of luck...

Learning to speak well and spell well would be a good start...\n\nLook over the many profiles on Yahoo!...\n\nLook for someone who has similar interests as you have, and write to them and tell them about yourself and try to make friends that way...\nLook for the Yahoo Member Directory...\nThat should help...

I would suggest just start asking people questions about themselves.  Generally people enjoy talking about themselves.  You want people to be more "open", but you need to respect their boundaries.  At my job, we talk all the time and share our lives.  But it is a very professional atmosphere.  There can be a good balance struck.\n\nBest plan of attack is to be a great communicator by listening.

Hi there! First of all..Your avatar looks cute! And, you dont need to waste your time responding to Jcleann13..I mean.. she/he doesnt even have one! \nAnd..about ur communication skills: \nIn order to master them you should first watch your language, be an active listener and connect with the person you are talking with. Then..There are some websites that will tell you more abt it than I could possibly do.. So u might wanna go to:\nhttp://www.mindtools.com/CommSkll/CommunicationSkills.htm or http://www.inc.com/articles/2000/03/18145.html.\nGood luck ;)

All these things can be worked on to improve and most of the people are not natural on these. Communication is a technique that must be learned. Personally, I try to identify my problems and work on it.It helps a lot!

I posted this as an answer to a somewhat similiar question about talking, starting conversations and friends. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it will help.\n\n\nTo keep the other person interested don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Becoming genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nA somewhat easy way to get a conversation started is to make a short complaint about something that you know the other person doesn't like. Generally the other person will complain too and you'll have you're conversation. You have to be Very careful not to do this often because you don't want the other person to think you're a whiner.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are VERY few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\n\nWell, it's a littly longer than I originally planned to write but I hope it helps you. If you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nFission

You need to be around people plain and simple learn conversational skills and work the room. Maybe even a galss of wine in a social setting would help. Or talk to the faceless people on here and work your way up to a party.

First, learn to spell and proofread. Perfection is the key to communication.\n\nThen perfect your speaking skills (foreign language) by speaking to natives of that language. Seek them out in certain situations.

The most effective and successful way to improve one's communication skills is to 'COMMUNICATE'.\n\nYes! Unless one is not getting into the practise of communicating all the time, it is hard to have that skill.\n\nFeel free to communicate (in the language you desired to develop)! Never hesitate for the pronunciation mistakes or of its grammar.\nBut when you did those mistakes or may be blunders(depends on the language),  try to avoid the next time and for ever.\nGradually, try to communicate nicely, error-free and fluently.\n\nIts sure it'll be yours.\nBest Wishes!

very very high level of understanging of the human behavior never forget what people want is someone to listen be a very good listener and supporter let the next person say everything openly and without hesitations to u so that conversation is open u must always be a good facilitaor .never give expressions that may make the next person feel that ur having fun always show your high concerns and listen sincerely , attentively and patiencefully.

I sufered the same problem till I read some books about the subject.They were "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie & "The Art of conversation" by James Morris.\nBut more importantly,practice what is in these books.
