Are you ready for the stuff you can do right away? Me too! Let's rock.
Get into unfamiliar circumstances.
The best mode of quick learning is the mode of Unfamiliarity. When you are in a familiar and comfortable situation, your brain tends to be lax and less attentive. That's why off-site training is more effective than on site. It is not just the cost you know? (Communication is never about the cost, it's more about the result). One of the best way to improve your skills to find people who are successful in that particular area and see how to improve communication just like them.
Decide which behavior you would like to integrate and then choose one of the exercises to improvecommunication skills. Get your feet wet in uncharted territories. Use common sense when you do it to avoid getting into trouble. If you face trouble with Self Esteem, we have solution for that too.
Overcome hesitation by asking for "Ungettable" things at shops
If you are very sensitive or just a painful perfectionist, This exercise will set you free. Because of my huge ego, I had a "need to be right all the time" syndrome. Once I started this exercise, it was so revealing and relaxing. All you have to do is approach random people and ask for an opinion or visit shops and ask for things they wont have.
Once I was feeling really stuck while solving a problem and wanted to break away from the feeling. This is what I did to feel unstuck. I went to a Food Joint and asked for a Haircut! My heart was beating fast and I was sweating.
The waiter was confused so I asked again " Can I get a haircut?"
He said "Sorry we don't do that here".
I said "ok. Thank you" and ran away. It was fun.
Now many of my colleagues and friends do it when they find themselves stuck in a situation. I don't know why itworks. But I can tell you, it does wonders in improving your communication skills.
