Hi everybody and welcome.
2
My name is Jen and I'm a career coach at Indeed with over 10 years of experience in career services.
3
Over the years I've worked with hundreds of job seekers from a variety of different industries.
4
Today I'm going to share some advice with you that I've refined over the years for how to improve communication skills.
5
Strong communication skills can help in all aspects of life from personal relationships to education and professional success.
6
We'll discuss four important questions that will help you improve your communication skills including How do I sound?
7
What does my body language say about me?
8
Where am I looking?
9
Why is listening an important part of communication?
10
At the end of the video, we'll discuss key tips for when to ask questions if somebody else is speaking, so be sure to stick around.
11
Communication skills are vital to just about any role in any organization, and it's a useful skill both in and out of the workplace.
12
If you're a professional, it's likely you'll need to learn how to communicate well with your peers.
13
The bottom line is that everyone can benefit from making efforts to be a strong communicator.
14
Today, we're going to focus on improving your verbal and nonverbal communication skills.
15
A good first step is to establish a baseline understanding of how you're currently communicating.
16
To do this, consider recording yourself speaking.
17
A video recording can be the most helpful because you'll be able to evaluate how you're communicating both verbally and nonverbally.
18
Now that we've established that everyone should work to be an effective communicator, Let's talk about the questions that you can ask yourself every day to make sure that you're communicating effectively.
19
Question one, how do I sound?
20
When communicating verbally, aim to use a voice that is audible and confident.
21
I know this can be a challenge.
22
The fear of public speaking is a very common phobia, and it can be hard to sound confident if you aren't feeling that way.
23
But how your message is delivered can impact how your message is received by the audience.
24
So let's walk through the key elements of sound.
25
First, let's address how to sound confident and relaxed.
26
People who speak with confidence are effective communicators because people often are more inclined to believe someone who speaks confidently.
27
Consider using relaxation techniques like taking deep breaths and actively releasing tension in your shoulders.
28
Also, watch out for filler words like um, uh, and like that tend to creep into our language unintentionally.
29
While it may feel natural to use one after completing a sentence to pause to collect your thoughts, it can be distracting for your audience and undermine the appearance of certainty in what you're saying.
30
To work on replacing these words, try taking a deep breath when you need to pause to gather your thoughts
31
or when you find that you're looking to transition to your next point.
32
Another important element of speaking is speed.
33
It's common for nerves to make you have a fast pace when you start speaking, but it's really easy to correct.
34
Start by just being aware of your pace.
35
If you notice you're speaking quickly, pause once you've completed your sentence, take a slow, deep breath, and then start your next sentence paying attention to keeping an even pace.
36
Remember that people will take longer to process what you're saying because the information will will be new to them.
37
In general, speak a touch more slowly than may feel natural to you.
38
If you want to get technical about assessing your speed, a good range of speech tends to be between 140 to 160 words per minute.
39
You can calculate your words per minute by recording yourself naturally reading a script
40
and seeing how many words you get through in one minute.
41
Before I move on, please let me know

43
Alright, the next question you can ask yourself to improve your communication skills is, where am I looking?
44
Eye contact is a key part of nonverbal communication.
45
Something as simple as making eye contact while speaking can help to improve your communication skills.
46
Making eye contact helps build a connection with the person or audience you're speaking to, but where to look when speaking can vary depending on the environment.
47
If you're presenting, you'll want to practice making eye contact with people in different
48
areas of the room to engage the whole audience practicing in an empty room, pick different points on the wall on the left,
49
middle, and right side of the room at the eye level which you think your audience will be at.
50
Practice shifting your focus to these different points to mimic making eye contact with different members of your audience.
51
If you're speaking at a meeting or in a one-on-one setting, be sure to have your head raised and make eye contact with the person you're speaking with.
52
When you're in a video meeting, try to look at the camera instead of looking at the person's face.
53
Looking directly at the camera mimics making eye contact.
54
Moving on, let's talk about why listening is an important part of communication.
55
As you've likely picked up on by now, being an effective communicator means more than just speaking confidently and clearly.
56
A vital part of communication is listening and making someone feel heard.
57
Active listening is a technique where people use verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to become a better listener.
58
Improving your active listening skills helps you to communicate better with others when conducting a meeting, presentation, or even when participating in a one-on-one conversation.
59
Try these simple techniques to improve your listening skills.
60
Paraphrase, summarize the main points of the message the speaker shared to show you care about fully understanding their meaning.
61
This will also give the speaker an opportunity to clarify vague information and expand their message.
62
This can be especially effective in conflict resolution.
63
For example, if you're not seeing eye to eye with someone, try using your own words to state what you think the other person meant.
64
Start by using phrases like, I hear you saying, or so I believe you are saying.
65
This helps the other person know that you have heard them
66
and do or do not understand what they are trying to say.
67
If you are resolving a conflict, consider including any emotion that you feel in the other person's message.
68
Using phrases like, it sounds like you feel, or I believe that you feel, can confirm the other person's feelings in the context of the discussion,
69
and might help them to move on and pursue constructive solutions to the conflict.
70
Display empathy.
71
If the situation requires it, make sure the speaker understands you're able to recognize their emotions and share their feelings.
72
By showing compassion, rather than just feeling it, you're able to connect with the speaker and begin to establish a sense of mutual trust.
73
An example might be, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this problem.
74
Let's figure out some ways in which I can help.
75
Share similar experiences.
76
Discussing comparable situations will not only show the speaker you've successfully interpreted their message, but it can help them to relate to you.
77
If the speaker has shared a problem, providing input from how you solve similar challenges is valuable to others.
78
For example, you could share, I had a tough time getting started with this program too, but it does get much easier.
79
After just a few weeks, I felt completely comfortable using all of its new features.
80
Recall previously shared information.
81
Make efforts to remember key concepts, ideas, and other critical points the speaker has shared with you in the past.
82
Doing so demonstrates that you're not only listening to what they're currently saying, but you're able to retain information and recall specific details.
83
For example, you might say, last week you mentioned adding a more senior coordinator to help with this account, and I think that's a great idea.
84
Smile and nod.
85
Offering the speaker a few simple nods shows you understand what they're saying.
86
A nod is a helpful, supportive cue, and it doesn't necessarily communicate that you agree with the the speaker, only that you're able to process the meaning of their message.
87
Like a nod, a small smile encourages the speaker to continue.
88
However, unlike the nod, it communicates you agree with their message or you're happy about what they have to say.
89

90
And now as a bonus, let's talk about when to ask questions.
91
If you're listening to someone speak, please wait until they've finished speaking to start asking any questions.
92
You want to avoid interrupting them mid-speech as this can be disruptive to the conversation.
93
This is the best practice that's applicable if you're in a presentation, small group, or even a one-on-one conversation.
94
When it's the appropriate time to ask questions, aim to ask open-ended questions that gather more information and ensure that the speaker feels heard.
95
Make sure that these questions cannot be answered with the simple yes or no. For example, if someone is asking to make changes to a process,
96
instead of just asking, is there something wrong with the current process?
97
Try asking.
98
You've brought up some really interesting points.
99
What changes would you want to make to the process immediately?
100
And what are some potential long-term improvements?
101
If someone is sharing details about a broad subject or topic, you can ask direct questions
102
that guide the speaker to provide more details about the information they shared or to narrow down the topic.
103
For example, if someone on your team shares that they're feeling overworked, you could ask for more specific information by saying, tell me more about your current workload.
104
Which of these projects is the most time consuming?
105
Asking questions that allow the person you're speaking with to provide more context signals to them
106
that you value their opinion and you want to hear more.
107
So there you have it.
108
As a recap, to improve your communication skills, ask yourself these four questions.
109
How do I sound?
110
What does my body language say about me?
111
Where am I looking?
112
And why is listening an important part of communication?
113
And finally, be sure to ask open-ended questions when you want to gather more information and let the audience feel heard.
114

115
I hope that you find these tips to be helpful as you start to assess and improve your communication skills.
116
I think that you'll find that once you start paying attention to your tone of voice, if you're making eye contact, and if you're actively listening to others, your communication skills will greatly improve.
117
Most of all, if you're feeling bogged down in the details of this advice, aim to just focus on what you're trying to say and why you believe it's important.

직장에서의 의사소통 상황: 실생활 적용 예시

직장에서 동료나 상사와 의견을 나누거나 발표를 하는 경우, 명확하고 자신감 있는 의사소통은 업무 성과뿐만 아니라 인간 관계에도 큰 영향을 미칩니다. 이번 비디오에서는 직장에서의 의사소통 기술을 향상시키기 위한 4가지 핵심 질문을 다루고 있는데, 이는 영어 회화 연습뿐만 아니라 일상적인 의사소통에서도 실용적인 팁을 제공합니다. 특히 IELTS 스피킹 준비생들에게도 도움이 될 수 있는 내용으로, 발음, 속도, 시선 접촉 등 구체적인 요소를 분석하고 있습니다.

유용한 표현과 연어: 외우고 쓰기 좋은 구문

  • audible and confident voice: 들리기 쉽고 자신감 있는 목소리. "발표할 때 audible and confident voice를 사용하면 청중의 주의를 사로잡기 쉽습니다."
  • filler words: 필러 단어(um, uh, like 등). "영어 발음 교정뿐만 아니라 필러 단어를 줄이는 연습도 중요합니다."
  • establish a baseline understanding: 기본적인 이해를 확립하다. "자신의 의사소통 스타일을 분석하기 위해선 먼저 establish a baseline understanding하는 것이 필요합니다."
  • eye contact: 시선 접촉. "직장에서의 대화에서 eye contact는 신뢰감을 쌓는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다."

당신의 쉐도잉 챌린지: 지금 바로 할 수 있는 연습

영어 쉐도잉(shadow speech) 연습은 발음, 속도, 억양을 동시에 연습할 수 있는 효과적인 방법입니다. 이번 비디오의 내용을 활용한 쉐도잉 과제를 소개합니다. 먼저 비디오를 1분 정도 재생한 후 멈추고, 자신이 말한 것처럼 따라하세요. 이때 다음 점을 주의하세요: ① 목소리가 들리기 쉽고 자신감 있게 내는지, ② 필러 단어를 사용하지 않는지, ③ 속도가 너무 빠르지 않은지(1분에 140-160단어 정도). 특히 시선 접촉도 연습하기 위해, 거울 앞에서 하거나 동료와 함께 하면 더 좋습니다. 매일 10분씩 이 연습을 하면, IELTS 스피킹뿐만 아니라 일상 영어 회화에서도 자연스러운 의사소통이 가능해질 것입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
