 Communication Skills

All behaviour and feelings find their original roots in communication.” Miscommunications can quickly be the death of any relationship. Improving your communication is essential for healthy relationships. But how can you do that?

It’s between two people. Both parties involved have to be committed to improving communication for any relationship to work. It’s a two-way stress.
1. Practice active listening. Many misunderstandings can be avoided by simply listening—actively listening. Understand the message being said rather than just reacting.
2. Take Into Account WHO You’re Talking To
