How did you improve your communication skills. (I'm a developer but the question is general)

Read and listen, a lot. 🙂

@gray-beach-48055 There is no magic bullet to it. You just have to write a lot + get feedback. Communication is nothing but trying to get ideas inside your head into someone else's head. I am guessing you would mostly communicate via your writing (unless you make videos). So I would write a lot and seek feedback from my recipients. Whether it is a blog or an email, you can drop in a line to your immediate manager or colleagues and say - Hey folks, I am trying to improve my communication skills. Can you please fill up this form <link to Google form> with some basic questions that you need help with. You could also enrol in communication classes. Either online or offline. If you stay in a city, these should be easily accessible. I remember reading "letter writing" books and mock letters when I was in school - which is always a good exercise to see how good authors present their views eloquently. However, if you want to be a better communicator, communicate more (i.e. write + share + get feedback)

Language is an essential part of communication. If language skills are your problem, please understand this. We learn our mother tongue by listening to our parents, and then we repeat what we hear. If you know that you can apply the same login to learn other languages, start listening to conversations in that language.

Best advice I ever got for free in terms of communication is “Listen to the Songs in the Language and try to sing along with learning the words”. trust me you will see the difference.
