Communication Skills

You might say something in a sarcastic way and the other person takes it offensively. I think the best way to fix this is to not try and talk about serious or important matters through a written message. You never know how the other person is gonna take it. Verbal communication can be talking on the phone, in person, or even through a video. The problem with talking on the phone is people can't see you and your body language can say alot. When talking to someone verbally without being in front of them, it is best to explain yourself in detail. Also, many people speak differently. Alot of different cultures have different slang.

When speaking to an important person you should try your best to speak approprietly. Non verbal communication involves your body language, your eye contact and your appearance. Body language can say alot. It says more then when you verbally speak. You should stand up straight when talking to someone and give off a positive vibe. You should also always keep eye contact, or people will take it that your bored or uninterested. Your appearence means alot too. No one is going to take you seriously or even hear what you wanna say if you're dressed sloppily.
