Get on the ground- Yes, no theory
will get you going unless you put your hands into it. Effective communication
is a conversation that is understood well, and it begins with your family. Talk
and involve, call up your family and friends and spent some time proper
conversing.&nbsp; So many things are there to
talk. 

Example- Friend 1 to Friend 2- “Hi buddy, how are you”

Friend 2 to friend 1 – “I am good, how about you, how are
work/life. Anything “

Let friend 1 answer and then pose a question out of the
answer as curiosity.” So, anything new at workplace, what’s the scene like”

Let the answer come and the again do active listening.
Ask “So, any plans for switch. It seems the job market is cutthroat, what’s
your things like “.

above example if you see that there is an expression of interest. Yes, for
communication 2 things are very essential. One is that we must be genuinely
interested on the other person. This is a leadership trait and makes a

them, how does the present day of the world appear to them.&nbsp; Wait for some time to get comfortable and
make sure they do they talking, and you do the listening. Slowly, this all will
become your habit and you will express interest in others also. Trust me,
everybody likes to be asked. This is how leaders are. Show Concern, Show
Interest and do active listening. Same goes with your friends.&nbsp; Do this for a couple of days and feel free to

mentor who can evaluate. Self-video recording will also help you asses better.
