❇️ How to become an articulate speaker
👉 The first thing to have is the thorough knowledge about the subject you are dealing with. Choose topics in which you are able to put across your opinions and thoughts to others.
👉 Pause and stress are highly needed to make your sentences quite loud and clear for the listeners. Try to avoid verbal pauses between the words, as it disturbs the flow of the sentence. Do not pause your sentences with 'a', 'like' etc. Instead, make use of non - verbal pause. This indicates that you have good control over what is being said.
👉 Think twice before you speak. A wrong word uttered may send false signal about your articulation. Avoid using the words that do not fit into the context of your topic. To create a good impression on the listeners, you should take care of what you say.
👉 One of the important attributes of an articulate speaker is his/her vocabulary. Add new words to your vocabulary. Consult a thesaurus or dictionary to find out the synonyms of the frequently used words. By doing this, you will be able to use a variety of words, which will in turn create interest in the people listening to you. Fresh new words will add color to your speech, making it even more comprehensive.
👉 Avoid using slang and contractions. Your speech should consist of the right choice of 'real words'. For instance, instead of a simple "hi", greet the people with "hello". Replace "yeah" with "yes".
👉 For being articulate, it is very important to follow correct grammar. You should be clear about the use of nouns, verbs, pronouns etc. Using incorrect grammar will show that you lack good command over the language.
👉 You should not go on and on with your speech, as people might quit listening the moment they find it long and boring. Prepare the speech in a very concise manner, without going vague.
👉 There is a huge difference between being articulate and sounding to be one. Use of big words will show you as a learned person. However, use of words that everyone understands will project you as an articulate speaker.

❇️ Effective team communication skills
• Team members should always be respected and given equal importance. It does not matter whether you are a team leader or a team member. Each one should have a say in the team decisions and team working.
• Make each member of your team clear about the strategies and goal of the particular project the group is working on. There should not be any doubt in the mind of any member and that may delay the achievement of the goal. To overcome this problem and make sure that everybody has understood the goals thoroughly, always welcome questions and queries and give solution to the same.
• Team communication is highly essential in defining the role and responsibilities of the members of the team. Each member would know what he/she is responsible of and what is expected of him/her.
• Communicate with the members of your team regularly and keep on updating them with the latest changes (if any) and general proceedings. This could be through e - mails, chat, video/telephonic conferences and so on. A regular update would help the team members focus on the goal better and instill in them the will to attain the said goal or objective.
• Meet your team members on a regular basis. This is the only way each member would have a clear idea about the proceedings of the work. Also, meetings help team members clear doubts, if any. Proper communication leads a team to come out with flawless work.
• Make the meetings interactive by giving team members a chance to speak. If only one person or the leader speaks, then the meeting would not be successful. Remember, for effective team communication, one should have the capability to listen to other members. Ask for suggestions and implement them, if they are good enough.
• The most important aspect of good team communication is feedback. Ask for feedbacks from time to time to abolish the faults. This way the team members would think that they are important and their opinions are being listened to.
• While speaking, do not go very fast. Be slow and clear while speaking. Whatever you explain or say to your team members should be followed by reasoning. This would help the team members know as to why a particular process is taken up or why something should be avoided.
• Never use rude tone and offensive body language. For an effective team communication, always be polite and positive. Do not give unnecessary expressions or speak unpleasant language.
• Don't keep any personal grudges; it may have a bad impact on team spirit and work. Communicate well to resolve the issue.
• Appreciate team members on their good performance. Encourage them and inject positive vibes in them towards better working. Motivate them regularly; it can be interpersonal, through e - mails or during a team meeting.
