Effective communication is essential in personal and professional relationships. 

Interrupt others

It is important to actively listen and allow the interlocutor to express his thoughts and ideas without interrupting him. Interference can be perceived as disrespect and can hinder dialogue. On the contrary, one should be patient and wait for one's turn to speak.

It is very important to give others the opportunity to express themselves and share their opinion. Dominating the conversation can make others feel isolated and hinder the flow of ideas. So instead, ask open-ended questions and show genuine interest in other people's opinions to engage them in the discussion.

Non-verbal signals

Communication includes both words and body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. Ignoring these signals can lead to misunderstandings. Instead, you should be attentive to these signs and adapt your behavior accordingly.

Personal attacks or abusive language

Personal attacks or the use of abusive language can escalate the conflict and damage the relationship. It is better to focus on solving the problem and express your thoughts and views with respect to the interlocutor.

Assume

Before making judgments or assumptions about others, it is advisable to ask for clarification and get more explanations. Assumptions can lead to misunderstandings and hinder productive dialogue. Before forming your opinion, it is advisable to simply listen to the interlocutor and try to understand his opinion.
