Do you face difficulty in communicating at your workplace? Do you feel that you lack that confidence in addressing in meetings?
Here are some tricks and tips to help you out with your difficulties in communicating with your colleagues and help you perform better.
1. Your body speaks a thousand words-
Using one's body language i.e. facial expressions, posture, gestures, and eye contact. There are certain agreed-upon interpretations of certain behaviors in a society that may vary from culture to culture but non-verbal communication accounts for the majority of the information transmitted during interpersonal interactions.
Eyes: A direct eye contact while conversing is considered to be a sign of confident personality and can make you reliable as a person.
Handshakes: A loose and limp handshake is a big NO-NO as it is reflective of one being underconfident and can leave a bad impression. Pay close attention to a firm and friendly handshake.
Smile: A lack of crinkles around the eyes suggests a potentially fake smile and cause distress between coworkers.
Sitting posture: Sitting with hands and legs crossed while conversing might suggest a disinterest and could imply disconnect. Have an open posture for better communication and improved interpersonal relationships.
2. "Looks does matter"-
Setting appropriate dressing makes you look more professional, approachable, and credible. Although you might think this is an outdated notion but wearing clothing or accessories that are appropriate for your workplace can earn you the respect of your coworkers.
