Rapport Building Skills For A New Hire : Recently Hired

Hi Sir/Madam,
I have recently joined a new company as an Administration executive and I am feeling very nervous as I am not very interactive to everyone and have a problem with my communication skills. I am a kind of person who does not mix up with all. Please tell me what can I do to feel comfortable and to mix up with all the employees.

Take everything in a positive way. Communication skill can improve only by the interaction between the people. So there is no need for fear. You can do that. Be energetic and go forward .

Dear one,
Take everything in a positive way. There is no need for worry. Communication skill can improve only by interaction between the people. So don't be afraid about that. You can win. Go forward without fear.
Thanks and Regards,

Dear Gurzie,

Being appointed as an Administrative Executive is a life-size job with enormous responsibility and communication amongst colleagues. You said you are a very INTERACTIVE TO EVERYONE -- then how were you communicating earlier?

Well, there are many ways of effective communication. Its necessary for you to understand not only reading, speaking and writing involves the form, they are certainly -

1) Body Language - You can communicate correctly by using your smile and gestures.

2) Desist interuptting - When your colleague or someones speaking to you do not interupt rather listen, analyze and then respond back with what is understood and relevant to the point.

3) Repeat back the important aspects - If the other person has a high rate of speech, you can request him to slow down or repeat after listening what you understood for elucidation.

4) Avoid asking bizzared questions - "You didn't have?" instead ask "Have you did...?" so the other person wont confuse and answer to what you are looking for.

5) Dont talk rudely or fast. Be slow and steady and communicate effectively.

Greetings,
In addition to the brilliant contribution made by Sharmila, here's mine.
Try and listen to others with your eyes. This is how it works, most of us, look away from the person who is speaking to us. It happens because our thoughts are drifting and we are collecting data to speak . Its purely an information processing system. However, for any speaker, it proves, that the listener is losing interest. When some one is speaking to you, make an eye contact and look away only when the speaker pause.
Attentive listening and undivided attention are the best compliments you can offer anyone. As Sharmila have mentioned , mirroring and para-praphasing. They are excellent techniques.
Eventually you will find yourself listening to the pause so deeply that every non-verbal cues would be clear and precise to you. This proves priceless in any rapport building. Wish you all the best !
