Effective Communication @ working life

Communication in simple words and plain txt basically is:  Listening, thinking and talking.  

It has two related features:

- Interpreting Language

- Using language to present information and ideas

Both of the above need to be demonstrated through:

Listening, speaking, reading and writing and there are  many and different ways/types  of communications, from gestures to silent and drawing.  Telephone and face to face.  Each one of those has its strengths and weaknesses.  

Meetings and Group discussions are one of the main forms of communication at work place.

Why do we arrange meetings at work place?

As team work is an essential part of the any organisation and its one of the effective ways to share information with the team, review work or solve any problems.   It provides an opportunity to share ideas and get help and support to provide feedback about performance.

For everyone,  it is important to take  part in discussion and everyone plays in important part in the team or organisation they work with.

To prepare for a discussion one needs to know about the topic of discussion.  He/She needs to prepare for the purpose and subject they want to contribute.

Meeting/group discussion give us chance to develop working relationships,  express ourselves, form opinions, and ask questions.

There are important points to remember when taking part in a meeting or discussion:

• Listen, respect and appreciate the contribution others make 
• Confirm you understand what has been said, by gesture/body language etc.
• Take the discussion further
• Make contribution that is relevant to subject, suited the audience and the situation

Some of the things to take into account could be:

• Personal circumstances of the person/s you are having a discussion with
• Access to information
• Previous discussions you may have had
• Generation gap
• Cultural or social background of person/s you have a discussion with

An important point would be to look for common ground and developing links for future and further discussion.

The key to success in life is good and effective communication.  Good communication with others will lead you to do better  life.

Tips:

Listen well to others

Understand what others say

Express yourself clearly

Be clear and concise 

Communication is not about hearing well, it is about listening well and understanding correctly the meaning of intended message.

So the primary and  most important part of communication is Listening (Two ears and one Mouth)

Afghanistan-urgent winter appeal:Deadra's flight

From Tahir Qayumi in response to our Afghanistan Winter Appeal Oct2012

A wise and pious rich man, sensing his approaching death, called his son to his side and gave him these instructions: "My son, I shall be leaving you very shortly. On the day when I die, and they have washed my body and come to wrap it in the shroud, I want you to put one of my socks on my foot. This is my final request of you."

Soon after this, the old man did indeed die, leaving behind his goods and property, his children and his dependents. Family, friends, acquaintances and neighbors attended his funeral. The body had been washed and was almost completely wrapped in the shroud, when the son remembered his father's wish. Finding one of his old socks, he handed it to the washer of the dead, saying, "In accordance with my father's last request, please put this sock on his foot."

"That is quite impossible,” said the man. "Such a thing is utterly impermissible in Islam. I cannot act against the Sacred Law." Despite this valid objection, the son 

insisted, "That was my father's final request; it must certainly be carried out."

The washer of the dead was unmoved. "If you won't take my word for it," he said, "go and ask the mufti. He will confirm what I tell you, that it is not permissible." Holding up the funeral, they consulted the mufti, preachers and scholars, all of whom declared that this was not permissible in Islam. Just then, an aged friend of the deceased interrupted the debate with these words to the son: "My boy, your late father entrusted me with a letter which I was to hand over to you after his departure. Here, this letter belongs to you." So saying, he gave him an envelope. Taken by surprise, the boy opened the envelope and read out the contents of his father's letter:

"My son, all this wealth and property I have left to you. Now you see: at the last moment, they won't even let you give me an old sock to wear. When you yourself come one day to be in my condition they will also refuse to let you keep anything but your shroud. Few yards of shroud are all you will be able to carry over from this fleeting world into the Hereafter. So pull yourself together and be prepared. Spend the fortune I have left you, not for the satisfaction of vain desires, but in ways pleasing to Allah, that you may achieve honor in both worlds." [Author Unknown]

Prevent children from freezing to death in Afghanistan

 Urgent Assistance is needed  for  Internally Displaced People (IDPs)  Refugee Camps in Afghanistan 

TO UK based Airlines Companies!

 I, Zarghona Rassa, am writing to you on behalf of our team and organisation the British Afghan Women's Society (BAWS), that is working on our second winter relief mission to Afghanistan Refugee Camps. Our organisation and other corporate sponsor partners are dedicated to the process of making that happen but we need your help.

 Many business and community leaders are on board as well as hundreds of individuals. Our community is clearly excited and eager to see this project succeed. You can be a part of that excitement by supporting our mission with providing  round trips flights for three of our volunteers. We are happy to acknowledge your donation on our website, Press Releases and at our numerous events, (unless you prefer otherwise). Below is more details about the Mission and links for your information Many thanks for your kind consideration in advance.

BRITISH AFGHAN WOMEN'S SOCIETY is a (Registered Charity No. 1104668) and is URGENTLY seeking the donation of round trip travel services to Kabul for three volunteers through destination airports in closest proximity, if not directly to.

DATE: 18 OCTOBER, 2012

FOR ON-AIR NARRATION:

The British Afghan Women's Society in London has collected around three tons of warm winter baby and children's clothes to send to the refugee camps in Kabul, Afghanistan.  But is URGENTLY seeking the donation of round trip travel services to Kabul for three volunteers through destination airports in closest proximity, if not directly to.  If you could please donate your company's services please let us know via contact details provided.  

More than 35,000 people are living in unheated tents where temperatures will likely dip below zero this winter, making it a dangerous time for the poverty-stricken families who often lack adequate blankets and clothes.  Last winter the BBC reported that at least 23 children under the age of five froze to death in the camps.  The donations will be flown to Afghanistan through the generous donated services of air cargo companies.

If you can KINDLY donate your company's services please call:

Ms. Zarghona Rassa

TELEPHONE: 0044(0) 208 3736350 OR 0044-(0) 7956471078
