What are five great ways to improve your communication skills professionally and for your personal life?

focus, patiencce, motivation, communicate with intelligent people, never give up

1. Never talk over people.

This demonstrates a real lack of respect. By talking over someone what you’re basically saying is “I don’t care what you’re saying—what I have to say is more important”.

2. Don’t finish other people’s sentences. 

I used to do this a lot thinking I was helpfully finishing people’s sentences for them. Wrong. Research has shown by doing this you are dis-empowering the other person because you are taking control of the conversation, so bite your tongue!

3. Paraphrase.

If you want to show that you have really understood someone, then paraphrasing a great tool. All you do is repeat back to someone what they have just said, before you comment yourself. Here’s an example: “So Barney, what I’m hearing is that results are the number one objective for you right now and we need to find some fast solutions for you?”

4. Listen actively.

Focus on active listening instead of passive listening. The difference is that active listening means you engage and respond to the other person based on what they have said, passive listening is simply the act of listening with no response.

5. Maintain eye contact.

By looking the other person in the eye, you are proving that you’re interested in what they’re saying. This also keeps you focused and less distracted.

Always stay very positive. Look into your facial expressions and physical motions while talking to others. Always listen other with full devotion and intention. Focus on the desired results. Try to write down the important all massages and tasks with deadlines.

One simply exercise; go out and approach every 5th person you encounter with a trivial question; "what time is it? "how to get to X?" that way you build confidence with being around random people. It works across all spheres as you learn by doing.

Ways cant be counted and specified it depend in you, your needs and your aim in life.However you need to start and start from any thing you unaware and interesting in it, but dont force your self to run behind something you not attract to it.
