Stanford University's tips to improve your communication skills

Good communication is key in every part of life.

Here are simple tips from Stanford University to help you improve your communication skills.

Avoid using jargon or slang. Speak clearly so everyone understands your point, whether in speech or writing.

Listen to podcasts. Many professors suggest using audio content to learn from different speakers and improve your communication style.

Communication is a two-way process. Ask questions to show you're interested and to keep the conversation going.

Know when to step back and listen to others. You're not always right, and it's important to be open-minded in conversations.

Be confident in your communication and maintain a positive attitude.

Think before you speak. Know what you want to achieve and avoid saying things that could cause misunderstandings.
