2. How you can be a good communicator?

For me to be a good communicator, I need to have the ability to understand what other people are trying to say or point out and also to have the act of developing meaning among entities or groups through the use of sufficiently mutually understood signs. Next, conveying and sharing ideas and feelings effectively apart from abilities used when giving and receiving different kinds of information is also important. All of this involves listening, speaking, observing, and empathizing. Moreover, I need to understand the emotions and intentions behind all the information given for me to react wisely and being able to convey a message. Last but not least, I need to be able to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.
