Hi this is Peter Murphy here from how to talk with confidence.com. Today we are going to look at how you can improve your communication skills using a few simple tips that you could start using right away. The first tip is simply to copy successful people. If someone is successful when it comes to talking to people, if someone has really good communication skill all you need to do is pay close attention and copy what this person is doing. Let us say he has a particular way of starting a conversation. For example maybe he is really good at changing topic and engaging people in conversation. If you will pay attention observe what he does and copy that approach you will find you are getting better much more quickly. Second tip learn from your own mistakes, it is okay to make mistakes. Whatever you do don not start beating yourself up when you make mistakes. However, do learn from what you are doing. If something starts working you need to analyze it afterwards. Ask yourself what was it that I did that cause a problem in this conversation? Did I neglect to say something? Did I neglect to do something? You could also ask your friends or colleagues for feedback. Final tip always be testing new ideas. Let us say you learn a new idea in an article and let us say in a book or let us say you got an idea from someone else you see someone using a technique and it is really a great way to get a conversation moving. You need to test the idea for yourself. There is no point in learning new tips and new strategies if you do not actually apply it. So when you learn something make a point of actually testing it and try it out for yourself.
