Active listening skills, involving both verbal and non-verbal techniques, are at the core of any successful conversation. Habitually, we listen to reply!

We are dying to make the speaker stop speaking so that we can start speaking our thoughts and give our suggestions and at times we are even finding ways to end the conversation so we can move on to the next thing. When we sincerely listen to what others say they will also be interested in communicating with us and so a connection will be formed.

This can effectually help avoid miscommunication, form friendships and improve any relationships.

I always suggest an exercise in my communication skill

workshops focused on actively listening. So, I make a few people engage in a discussion. Then I randomly ask everyone in the team to write a summary of information they

listened to, from any two speakers in the discussion. This, I’ve found, a good way to get into the habit of forcing your mind to stay active and engaged during interactions with others. It also helps you stay focused during conversations.

This episode is all about mastering the art of ACTIVE

LISTENING! I share with you three tricks that have helped me phenomenally over the years and my students have found these most valuable as well! I hope this sharing of knowledge via this podcast, helps you polish your communication skills!

Learn more such exercises in my potpourri of communication skill programs. I engage in both one-on-one mentoring and train teams and groups.

My most popular communication programs are around public speaking skills, creative writing skills, fiction/ non-fiction writing skill development, presentation skill building or interviewing skills. I also help you write your book or

create your marketing pitch or strategize communication design with your customer. Connect with me at- [email protected]

I’d love to communicate with you and help you become a better communicator!

Have you had a situation where you said something & other person thought you meant something completely different?

Have you lost a friendship or a relationship because of miscommunication?

Then this episode is dedicated to you!

Miscommunication happens when there are discrepancies between what is said and what is understood during a dialogue. Effective communication is essential at work as it not only generates stronger interpersonal relationships but also impacts the business's overall productivity. Poor communication results from a disconnect between what is said and what is understood. While misunderstandings will always happen at one time or another, there are things you can do to minimize miscommunication. Building good communication skills is one strategy!

Being able to start a meaningful conversation is an important skill that you can use to build and strengthen relationships. Establishing a list of conversation starters can also help you communicate with any person under any circumstances. In this podcast, we discuss how to start a conversation, explore several ways to start talking to a new person and share some examples of conversation starters for different situations.

Conversation starters with colleagues or professional contacts can look different than those with new friends or acquaintances. Your initial efforts can start a conversation that might help you build valuable relationships with coworkers and colleagues.

“So, what do you do?”

Did that question make you cringe? Maybe it takes you back to that awkward dinner party where you couldn’t think of any other way to kick off a friendly chat.

We’ve all dreaded starting conversations plenty of times, and in professional settings or parties, many times. But it's not all that difficult if you follow simple tricks and practice them. Are you shy and want to confidently start conversations? Or perhaps you're trying to overcome being an introvert and would like ideas for how to get speaking practice. These conversation starters will help.

They say, the more questions you ask, the more your conversation partner will like you—especially if you ask follow-up questions (which prompt the person to elaborate on something they’ve said).

Each to his own, take your pick from the assortment of tricks showcased in this episode.

Learn how to make conversations, how to communicate your ideas, in public and personal set ups and generally become an effective communicator! It is not rocket science so if anyone is telling you it is, is joking! Build vocabulary, perk up your grammar, build your public speaking and creative writing skills. know more at SARIKASINGH.in

Dealing with unhappy customers is never easy. But, despite the headaches, angry customers are good for business — you just need to know how to relate to them!

The simple thing is that your business will not succeed if your customers are dissatisfied. An angry customer is convinced that your company neither cares nor listens to them. An unhappy customer feels that your product failed to meet their expectations. A demanding customer thinks highly of them and wants you to treat them differently.

When faced with an angry customer, avoid the (natural) tendency to justify your position. Instead, understand that they're merely feeling undervalued and attempting to control the situation. Dealing with angry customers can be difficult but angry, demanding, or hard to please customers are beneficial to your company’s success by providing opportunities to improve your business. try these simple tricks I'm sharing and it will sound simpler than you think!

Many customers want to be heard and for their problems to be understood. By actively listening to a customer’s concerns, you can see an alternative point of view on how your business can improve a product or service and help to improve the structure of your business.

No company is exempt from having difficult customers, but allowing your customers to be heard and understood can increase brand loyalty, product or services, and conflict resolution training skills.

Do you admire those speakers on the stage who speak super smooth and yet look so comfortable?

Do you say-

"Wow! I wish I could be like them!"

But in reality, you dread speaking to an audience!

No need to answer that because nearly half of your audience doesn't want to be in your shoes because they have public speaking anxiety, too.

There’s something about public speaking that’s both exciting…and super scary.

On the one hand, when you speak to public, you connect with a lot of new people. It’s a fantastic way to network, to meet new client, new business partner, or just make friends.

On the contrary, standing up in front of hundreds of people is  super scary.

For most of us, public speaking is something we actively avoid at all costs. 

Standing in front of people, imagining how you’re looking, what they are thinking of you, trying to remember what’s on the slide behind you, wondering if you’re boring the entire audience – there’re too many reasons why public speaking is a common nightmare.

But that said, great speakers aren’t born that way — they work at getting better. Its like riding a bicycle, the more you practice public speaking, the better. 

But how can you finally become the confident, charismatic public speaker you’ve always wanted to be? 

Let me share three very practical, very easy, exercises which can help you become a smooth talker, a good speaker, and an effective communicator!

Most of us use Alexa & Siri- what are these? AI, right??!!

As people increasingly rely on ChatGPT to carry on conversations, they get addicted! Whether this addiction is positive, or negative, each to his own. Mental health experts claim that this could lead to a breakdown in social relationships, both online and offline. Nonetheless, it is a fact that the future of work will require a balance of human intuition and AI precision. So, hear this episode and learn to build healthy defense mechanisms with AI such as ChatGPT, setting your boundaries, staying in charge, and harnessing it to assist you, not rule you! In this episode, I'll share three tricks to beat ChatGPT and outsmart this technology!

Disclaimer: ChatGPT was not used to write this podcast!

Are you always blaming yourself when other people don’t treat you well? Are you sensitive to what others think

of you? Do you get emotional and defensive to any form of criticism? These can be signs that you take things too

personally, which can take a huge mental and emotional toll on you.

If you tend to take things personally when they are not personal, it is because something has hit a nerve.

I used to get very upset when my best friend didn’t return my call. Even though I didn’t have important things to talk

about, I couldn’t help but get hurt. Rather than trying to see what’s really happening with her, I’d jump to the

conclusion that she just didn’t care.

Unnecessary drama followed!

In this episode, I’m sharing my mantra. I’m sharing my heart out and offering tips on toI reframe your reactions and how to

overcome this terrible, emotionally draining habit that hurts us more than a few times. I needed to break some

communication barriers within myself to become the version of me now!

Not taking things personally gives you more control over how you respond, your emotions, and your energy level. So

hear this episode and learn to build healthy defense mechanisms, such as setting boundaries and practicing pausing

techniques.
