Psychological tricks for great communication!

Communicating and building relationships with people can sometimes be a challenge for anyone.

It doesn't matter if you are talking about your workplace, your community, or your family, applying certain psychological tricks can help create a good relationship with the people around you. Most non-verbal communication signs in humans are acquired during life through social learning.

Leaders of successful companies, managers, and people in management positions, often go to training in order to master the skills of non-verbal communication, for the sake of better presentation and career advancement. Here are 5 situations that can help you create good communication with others.

1. Sit next to someone, not across of them

The place where you sit at the table can say a lot about you and your position in the group. If you want to discuss something with someone, sit next to them, instead of across them, because that will reduce the potential for conflict. On the other hand, sitting across someone or in front of someone, especially in conference rooms or at office desks, can encourage the other person to feel threatened. 

2. Boost your self-confidence with the strong poses you take

Powerful posture is body language that governs the way we think and feel. By taking up space and taking a strong stance, we can foster a sense of confidence and struggle for ourselves. Research shows that those who took a strong position felt safer and had better results in interviews than those who did not. Many athletes and politicians use this psychological trick to their advantage.

3. Choose the right color of clothes

The color of your dress or suit reflects the type of person you are, as well as the job and position you want. Navy blue signifies warmth and reliability, which is a good color for teachers. Gray exudes reliability and stability, and black is top-notch and elegant and is often worn by designers in the fashion industry. 

4. Maintain eye contact by assessing eye color

Eye contact is a sign of attention in conducting a conversation. However, it can be challenging and uncomfortable for both parties to keep in touch on purpose. Research has shown that it will look more natural if you try to assess the color and shade of your interlocutor's eyes - so the look will remain, but it will not be forced, but you will look interested and open to talk. 

5. Try to remember people's names

Some people remember names easier, some harder. But, those who find it harder, should try harder, because it has been shown that the use of personal names in communication with people shows that you pay attention to those people, what they say and do. It makes you easily likable and popular in society.
