How do we define good communication? Is it only writing? If we were to go deeper in our interpretation of good communication, the following would also contribute to the overall meaning of good communication instead of just writing.
1) Body language – can dominate a conversation more than our tone or words. Making
sincere eye contact with your potential sign ups, warm market etc, dressing well with good
posture can make a difference when making a sales pitch or working with your clients (for
ECAs especially).
2) Listening – be a good listener to better understand what someone else is saying
3) Empathy – being aware of the needs of others through what they say to you
4) Patience – not losing your cool when you send out an email and don’t get a reply
As to writing skills, practices make it perfect. The more you write, the better you will become. Observe how other people present their views, writing their website or blogs and so on. If you have some ideas, write it down. If not for immediate use, you may need it later, when you need ideas, you can refer back from what you have written down before.
