Verbal Communication
There are many different things that can make people an effective verbal communicator, and below of some of the things you should consider every time:
1.      Speak clearly- This is one of the most important things to focus on when communicating as you need to make sure that everybody can hear and understand everything that you are saying. This is even more important when giving presentations as you need to convey an idea to everybody in the room rather than just one or two people. 
2.      Eye contact- Another important thing to focus when you are verbally communicating with people is eye contact
3.      Body Language- When you are talking to someone, body language is one of the key things that you need to focus on.  During a conversation you should keep your head up and arms not crossed. This gives people a good impression of you.
Written communication
There are many things that need to be considered when you are communicating using a written media style.

2. Grammar- Getting the correct grammar is another of the things that needs to be focused on if you want to convey a sense of sophistication to the person you are writing to or for.
3. Correct font use/ Legible handwriting- One of the most important things to think about in any job, is the type of font that are using to write something. You want to make sure that you are using a formal type font such as Times New Roman or any of the other default, whilst staying away from sypes such as Coms sans MS.
