How to improve your communication skills

In a high school, a teacher asked the class just give me a definition of NET. This put all the students on wrong footing as they were awry in defining a simple word Net. However, a student from backbenches gave this definition: The number of holes tied by a chord/rope is called a Net. Even the teacher was pleasantly surprised by this perfect definition.

Communication skills have been and would always be a sure path of success in every walk of life, whether you are a writer, a leader addressing gatherings, or a sr./jr. executive in an organization and making presentation on some project. Even it is equally important for marketing people, teachers, lecturers, and professors. Some successful persons have natural and inborn talents of communication. But not all these successful persons were born artistic. They acquired the skills through watching other successful persons' style, and presentation of their points. In other words, if you lack in this art, no worries, you can acquire more than them, only if you analyze and alter yourself by following the basic principles laid down in here.

Since communication skill is the most important thing in life, a lot have been written on this sensitive issue in regard to improve the skill. I would broadly classify this skill into two categories: 1) written and 2) verbal.

Writing skills: If you are writing a novella or a short story, it is necessary that you have the main theme or plot first, just like an artist outlines the picture before painting it in the styles and contrasts he deems best. Your start should be very impressive to arrest the interest of reader. Avoid heavy and Shakespearean style, use simple choosy sentences and arrange in so beautiful a way that flotation of each segment is interwoven with each other. Try that your write doesn't have jerks or hiccups. This can only be avoided when you simplify your narration and decorate it with best possible words. Use some punch lines and wisecracks for the interest of readers but they should never be juxtaposition in the script. Same rules apply to articles and other writes. Give a break before finalizing your work, and keep revising your work. May be, in between, you strike some new ideas to make your write more impressive, on one hand, and on the other hand this will help you eliminate the clumsy and not so very impressive pieces from the script.

If you are making a presentation of any project in the Company's Board Room or a university room, first jot down roughly
