Communicating to Influence – The power of conversations
Having great communication skills can make the difference for any individual in building relationships with anyone. Whether you are a part of a large or small organization, effective communication is essential for your success.
The act of communicating involves verbal, nonverbal, and paraverbal components.
The verbal component refers to the content of our message‚ the choice and arrangement of our words. The nonverbal component refers to the message we send through our body language. The paraverbal component refers to how we say what we say – the tone, pacing and volume of our voices.
In order to communicate effectively, we must use all three components to do two things:
1. Send clear, concise messages.
2. Hear and correctly understand messages someone is sending to us.
