 AREAS INVOLVED IN
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION
• Verbal Communication – verbal communication refers to your use of
spoken or written language to communicate your thoughts and feelings.
These may be in the form of speeches, discussions, presentations,
conversations, letters and correspondences.
 AREAS INVOLVED IN

their message depends on the mood, kind of words that they use, and the clarity
of their message.

communicating without using words. Instead, we use gestures, facial
expressions, body language, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues to convey
messages and meaning.

nonverbal cues to convey meaning.

understanding, or encouragement.

attention, and respect.

saying.

 STEPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
1.Listen Intently – The way to improve your listening skills is to practice
active listening. You can do this by maintaining eye contact with the speaker,
nodding your head, and repeating what he or she says in your own words.
The speaker will feel respected and you are likely to be able to recall the
conversation more easily afterwards.
 STEPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
EXAMPLES:
1. Looking directly at the person who is speaking.
2. Staying quiet while they talk so you can hear everything they say.
3. Nodding your head to show you are following what they are saying.
 STEPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
2. Respond with praises to engage in communication - when we are
responding to someone, we are letting the other person know what we think
what they say was good, helpful, interesting, or, impressive. This can make
the person feel good about themselves and encourages them to continue
speaking and sharing their thoughts and ideas.
 STEPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
It is also important to remember that when praising your intentions must be
clear and sincere. We should only praise someone when we really mean it,
and we should be specific about what we are praising.

EXAMPLES:
1. I really appreciate the thought and creativity you put on that essay.
2. You did an excellent job presenting that proposal, your ideas were very
well thought out.
 STEPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
3. Tell stories related to the topic – communication is a two-way process. As
you are listening, engage in the conversation by pitching in some stories of
your own which are related to the topic at hand. Just be careful not to be the
only one talking all throughout.
 STEPS ON HOW TO IMPROVE
INTERPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
4. Practice – all skills could be learned when practiced, same goes with
communication skills. In order for you to be good at it, you must give
yourself some time to practice. Start with people at home, friends, or to those
people you are comfortable talking with.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN
TO GET ALONG AND VERBALLY
COMMUNICATE?
 STRATEGIES FOR
RESPONSIBLE LISTENING
AND EFFECTIVE
NEGOTIATION
RESPONSIBLE LISTENING – is when you really focus on what someone is
saying to you and try to understand what they mean. It's like when your
friend tells you a story and you ask questions to make sure you understand
what they're saying. When you listen responsibly, you show the other person
that you care about their thoughts and feelings.
EXAMPLE:
1. Making eye contact with the person who is speaking.

2. Avoiding distractions, such as looking at your phone or watching TV.

3. Giving the speaker your full attention and not interrupting them.
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION– is when two people try to come up with a
solution to a problem that works for both of them. It's like when you and your
friend want to play with the same toy, but you both can't have it at the same
time. You might negotiate by saying, "Can I play with the toy for five
minutes, and then you can have it for five minutes?" When you negotiate
effectively, you come up with a solution that makes everyone happy.
EXAMPLE:
1. Identifying the needs and interests of both parties involved in the
negotiation.

2. Being clear and specific about what you want and what you are willing
to offer.

3. Being willing to compromise and find a solution that works for everyone
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION
Both responsible listening and effective negotiation are important skills that
can help you in many different situations, such as in school, at home, or in the
workplace. By practicing these skills, you can build stronger relationships,
resolve conflicts, and achieve your goals in a way that is fair and respectful
towards others.
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION
AVOID INTERRUPTION - good listeners never interrupt when the other
side is talking. If you have a question or need clarification, write it down and
continue to give them your undivided attention. Address your concerns to
them when they have finished talking. Stopping the flow of information is
very risky because they may be about to reveal everything you need to know.

 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION
SPEAK WITH THE BODY - maintain eye contact, nod every so often, and
occasionally smile as they are speaking. This shows the other person that you
are paying attention and makes them feel comfortable about revealing more
information.
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION
PARAPHRASE - this indicates to the other person that you have understood
what they said. It basically involves summing up what you have heard in
your own words.

CLARIFY – ask questions about what the other person has just said. Don’t
be scared to seek some clarifications when you don’t a clear idea what they
are trying to tell or to deliver.
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION

ACKNOWLEDGE - this does not mean you have to agree, it just shows the
other person that you value their point of view. Be sincere when you
acknowledge them and always look them in the eyes, even if they are angry
or threatening. Once they have been heard, you can go on to show how your
point of view is also valid.
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION
EXAMPLES:

1. Verbal acknowledgement by saying “thank you” or “I understand” in

response to someone’s message request.
2. Nonverbal acknowledgement is simply nodding your head, making eye
contact, or smiling to show that you are interested.
3. Active listening is when you are using verbal and nonverbal cues.
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION

AGREE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE - agreeing to what the other person is

saying creates a very positive negotiating environment. Find little things to
affirm and you will not only set a pattern of agreement but also make the
other person more confident about sharing information with you.
 RESPONSIBLE LISTENING AND
EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION

By listening attentively, you will also notice the things that the other person
does not say and this could tell you a lot. When listening, try to maintain
objectivity and keep an open mind. Make every effort to understand what the
other party is really trying to say this means reading between the lines.
Determine whether the words they are saying match their body language.
