Written Communication

A 'Written Communication' means the transferring of messages, orders or instructions in writing through letters, circulars, manuals, reports, telegrams, office memos, bulletins, etc. It is a formal method of communication and is less flexible.

How to carry yourself

           

Carry yourself in a good manner, stand up tall and straight, don't get jittery and maintain eye contact while speaking.

Introspecting your thoughts before communication tells others that you are a self-confident person; it increases the chances that they'll belief you.

Speak softly and in a poised manner. Usage of appropriate grammar, avoid slang and speak in a normal, calm tone.

Are you worried that your words don’t match your intentions?  Your body language also helps you in relationships? Just try and project your best image.

We are not referring to your external physical appearance. We are mentioning to your innermost self, your philosophies.  How do you see yourself?  

                            

What if you get to know those uncertainties and insecurities are more common than you think.  In fact, most people have them, even those who seem to always shine and do everything right. People who always says the right thing at the right moment.  The one everyone else wants to be around and appreciates.

Well, you’re no different.  You are perfectly capable of taking on new challenges and shine just like that person.  There is a huge difference in how you see yourself and how you project yourself.  You see, when you display self-confidence, you project a better image which leads to being better acknowledged of you image by others.
