In my opinion, a good communicator should, first of all, be confident ‘cause I'm sure that communication and confidence go hand in hand. When you're confident, it shows. And it attracts others to you like a magnet. When you're confident, you show people that you're worth their time and effort to listen to you. Also, confidence allows you to speak concisely and with clarity. And, to my mind, confidence is what allows people to move quickly past the small talk to invite everyone into the heart of the conversation. Oh, I want to add one thing. One of the most important rules of effective communication is looking a person directly in the eyes. However, people who lack confidence tend to avoid eye contact. And avoiding eye contact shows disinterest and, in some cases, dishonesty. Patience is another trait that a good communicator should have. Since communication is a 2-way street, it requires people to listen, understand and then respond to successfully communicate ideas with others. And for this, a person should be patient. I'm convinced that people who can get their message effectively are witty because using humour in communication can help gain attention, create rapport and make a message more memorable. Everyone would agree that it is humor that breaks down barriers and makes people want to read and hear what you say. And, of course, being a good communicator means being open-minded, approachable, logical, intelligent, cheerful, tactful, polite.
