Looking for help improving your communication skills? Dr. Sandra Ingram of Winston-Salem offers online coaching for people everywhere in the United States to help you achieve your goal.
Benefits of Communication Coaching
Communicating can be tricky business. You say one thing, but the person you are speaking to hears something different. And often, it’s not what you say but how you say it. Your tone and body language can send a completely different message than you mean to send. Then, there are times when you simply cannot find the right words or even the confidence to speak up.
Sadly, it’s such issues that cause problems in relationships – both professional and personal – all the time. However, it doesn’t have to be that way in your life. Dr. Ingram of Winston-Salem shares a few ways that communication coaching can help.
1. Identifying Communication Issues
It can be hard to improve how you communicate if you don’t know where your trouble lies. A coach can help you identify areas that need work and provide exercises to help you improve.
2. Building Confidence
Whether you’re speaking in front of a huge audience or one-on-one with a loved one, confidence is important. It helps you say what needs to be said and get your message across. By working with a coach, you can build the confidence you need to communicate more successfully in your career, marriage, friendships, and even with strangers you bump into at the local market.
3. Sending the Right Message
Again, it’s not always about what you say but how you say it that is causing issues. For example, an expression you make while speaking might appear disapproving, even if that is not how you feel. Or your tone might make it seem like you don’t recognize whether something is serious to your partner. You might have never been told any of this because loved ones don’t want to hurt your feelings, or they don’t understand what is going on. A coach is an impartial party who can provide such insight, and help you learn how to send your message more effectively.
4. Learning to Listen
Communicating isn’t a one-way street. It’s not just about you and your message. It’s also about actively listening to the other party or parties. To be an effective communicator, you have to be an active listener, and coaching can help you build those skills.
