Some psychologists assert the impact of spoken communications made on others depends 7% on what is said, 38% on how it is said, and 55% on body language.

Attentive listening in order to understand others, before responding, is important to effective communication between people.  Listen closely to the words that are spoken as well as the emotion that the words or tone may convey.  Then to insure that what was heard is what was meant, repeat what was said or rephrase the statements by putting the perceived meaning into similar words.  Be sure to acknowledge or reflect their feelings by reflecting the original tone or stating the believed emotions surrounding the other's statement. 

 

When writing communications, use a good word processing application to construct and format he material. This will allow for using grammar and spell checking to verify correctness of language.  Be sure to proofread before sending it to find potential misunderstandings of material and correct it to insure better understanding by readers.  Consider reading the material aloud to see how it might sound in someone else's mind when reading it.  In addition, if the document is to be sent as an email, the text may be attached or copy/pasted into the email body before sending.

When wanting to demonstrate to a group how important words may be if the person talking and the listener cannot see each other's body language, use a guessing game with word cards or this purpose.  To prepare for the activity, create index cards with words to describe on each one (Suggestions include  Apple, Book, Box, Children, Flowers, Garbage, Grapes, Ice Cream, Pizza, Summer, Sunset, Texas).  When ready, ask one person to take a card with one of the words on it and give a verbal description of what is on the paper.  Tell them they must concentrate on the careful choice of descriptive words relating to the five senses (smell, touch, sight, sound).  They must avoid any non-verbal signals, such as hand movements or body language other as much as possible.  The others in the group must take turns guessing the word, within a specified time limit, based only on the word clues given buy the cardholder.
