Standing amidst of technologies and versatile economies, we
experience a thirst for learning and understanding complex innovations. Proper
communication facilitates due encyclopaedism of concepts and happenings.
Communication involves clear understanding of ideas, concepts, and the
recipients' knowledge pulse.
Conceive before You Pursue
Mostly, communication skills are acquired through constant
practice. Before communicating any idea, prepare a mind map of the idea or
concept you intend to convey. You can literally jot down your idea in a paper.
Jotting down in paper helps you to include more vital facts and to eliminate
unnecessary information.
Stay Conscious to Stay on Track
While you are in the process of communication there are
possibilities for aligning out of track. For example, you may exaggerate some
concepts or diminish some ideas for making the communication more interesting.
Beware of adding or eliminating ideas which may lead to misconception from the
receiver's end. So, stay conscious with your ideas and intentions to stay right
on track.
Deploy Right Techniques and Strategies
Good techniques and strategies stimulate better understanding of
ideas or import the exact idea or concept to the receiver without any idea
seepage or misconception. Employing the right techniques improves the
communicator's morale as well as the receiver's knowledge base.
If the communication mode is a presentation or a text document, the communicator may include pictorial illustrations and graphs to the document. Illustrations ease the process of understanding new concepts. We could remember the pictures and plastic models of vegetables and animals shown by our nursery teachers. That's a happy and interactive learning isn't it?

Place Yourself into the Receivers' Shoes
Just have an idea of the knowledge level, education and skill
sets of the intended audience. This will help you in framing the ideas and in
delivering the ideas effectively. Put yourself into the receivers' shoes, so
that you can be aware of what the essentials are and what are not.
Use Appropriate Channels
The communication medium plays a vital role in delivering ideas.
Modern communication mediums improve efficiency of communication. In ancient
days, birds were used to transport messages. There was less probability for the
message to reach the intended person. Now-a-days, modern communication tools
like telephone, internet, email, conferencing, networking and so on facilitate
communication. Depending upon the importance, time, cost, and other factors the
appropriate communication channel can be employed.
Strive Your Way to Success
The parameters mentioned above are not the only techniques to
practice and execute effective communication. The list may be enhanced and
developed rationally to meet the needs of dynamically changing environments.
