Communication is a thing of our daily lives which we do on a regular basis. Those who are the master of this skill can easily get many times ahead as compared to those who are't. Here are the things you should remember while communicating :1) Control your anxiety. We dont want to fully get rid of it because it help us to think clearly and choose our words carefully. Anxiety is good for us but it should always be under control.2) See having a conversation with one another as opportunity, not as a challenge. You dont want to put too much pressure on your brain rather than enjoying it.

Effective Communication

3) Listen more instead of talking. You dont want to force your idea into the conversation. 4) Ask questions like what is that, how does that happen. What should we do. This will idicates your deep involvement on the conversation.
