How to improve communication skills?

To improve athletic skills, you train and then practice, practice, practice. It's no different with communications skills. First, learn more about effective communication. The net or your local library both offer great resources. Then, if you want to hone your verbal communications skills, join a discussion group that focuses on topics of interest to you; volunteer to teach or tutor others in an area in which you're skilled; or join a debating team. To improve written communications skills: write! Write letters to distant friends and family; keep a diary or journal; write articles for newsletters or the local paper; start blogging; or even answer questions at Yahoo answers.

That's a very large question. Any specific type of communication skills, or just communication skills in general? Interpersonal communication skills depend largely upon listening, which is something many of us don't do well. We're so anxious to say something that we don't always listen to what the other person is saying, or listen to the message under the words. Sub-text is so critical, but so often ignored. Written communication depends upon clarity, and yes, grammar and spelling are part of that. I'm sorry I can't be more explicit, but you need to give a few more details.

Listen with your whole self.
