Effective communication skills come from following the rules and the rules start with you being 100% Responsible for the success of all of your communications!
Conversational - do not lecture, do not whimper, and do not get mad or over-emotional. Have a discussion. No matter what the other individual or individuals do, in a meeting, negotiation, when a customer is complaining, etc. keep control and keep it conversational. This implies back and forth, active listening, and not getting over-emotional for no good reason. Do not get sucked into an argument that will damage your image later.
Think about how an infant engages with her mother. She does not utilize words, yet her mother finds out, with time, how to tell if her child is thirsty or hungry or wet. This takes place through physical gestures, facial expression, body motions, and so on. Even as adults these are important aspects; what we are saying with our mouth might not communicate the exact same message as our bodies reveal. Remember this next time you speak to someone who is affecting your life!
Good communication is never random. Never ever delegated opportunity. There is a technique behind the very best, most effective communication projects. To come up with a reliable technique, you have to begin at the end. That's right, start at the end. By that, I suggest you should determine what you are aiming to achieve with the project. There are some examples in earlier areas (I presume you have checked out the earlier parts of the series. If not, embarassment on you! However because I am a good man, here is a link).
Example of what not to do: Cars and truck dealers are a few of the worst wrongdoers. The pay millions for commercials that are misleading and set impractical expectations for most of their potential consumers by utilizing lures such as "o% APR" and "money back"!
You'll cut hours off of the time it takes to complete a job if you follow it with a particular template. A simple finance example for content-- required completion date, required action, understood obstacles, required action date. You decide what works for your company and if you need more than one template. Try one and see how much smoother communication is. Then, see if there are other frequent uses for e-mail and streamline them, too.
Be Open And Truthful. Truthfulness and openness to each other in a marriage relationship can recover any wounds. They must be honest and sincere in their communications so that they can develop self-confidence and trust in the relationship.
