" Effective communications are all about "more listening and less talking". It's about understanding emotions and intentions behind the information you received. Eye contact also plays an important part in communication; it shows that you're interested, without eye contacts you would feel disconnected. "

" Dj Nadzri has really elaborated and covered every inch of effective communications that I will take with me to adulthood. Something that really stuck with me was when he said that effective communication isn't about the speaker but the listener. Which I absolutely agree with!! Yes, it's important to speak clearly but the main objective is to be listened to and make others understand. I also took into account the importance of non-verbal communication which is absolutely correct. Majority of the time I focus on capturing the viewers' interest and heavily rely on my speech to deliver crucial information. However, now I know that my effective communication can only work if I have good content and delivery. "
