Learning how to be your best communicator, whether in written or verbal form, is an art form that requires practice and effort to master. These simple tips can help you become an effective communicator.

Be Direct and Approachable

The most important step in being the best communicator is getting to the point. It can be confusing if you offer a long preamble, often causing your listener(s) to tune you out. Start off with the main point you want to make, and then you can fill in the details.

No matter if you’re writing a letter, an email, or a text or talking, nobody wants to be lectured. Using a friendly tone creates an atmosphere in which your audience is eager and receptive to hearing your thoughts.
