Not Listening: Remember that communication is a two-way street. Develop active listening skills and ask questions to ensure understanding.
Using Jargon: Overusing jargon can create a communication barrier. Strive for clarity in your communication. When in doubt, simplify.
Being Indirect: Beating around the bush breeds confusion. Develop your assertive communication skills and ensure your message is clear.
Ignoring Non-Verbal Cues: Body language often speaks louder than words. Become more aware of your own non-verbal cues and learn to read others'.
Not Adapting Communication Style: Everyone communicates differently. Learn to adapt your style to match others for effective communication.
