Tps for Effective Communication
   
* Be honest while communicating. Dishonesty will somewhere show up along a line.
   
* Take interest in the people you are communicating with. Remember the people are more attracted towards those who have interest in them, and pays more attention to what they say.
   
* Think before you speak or put pen to paper: what message you trying to convey? What outcome do you want to elicit?
   
* Be direct and not aggressive. Lot of flannelling around can make the people lose interest and miss a vital point.
   
* Don't use the jargon – and acronyms, and also the technical expressions, unless you are sure about that your listeners do understand
   
* Write the way as you will speak. Do not fall into a trap of using the long words just because it is written down.
   
* Take time. Whether in the speech or in paper, rushing will make you seem nervous, unconfident and like downright scared.
