Communication is simply the act of
transferring information from one place to
another.

Although this is a simple definition, when we
think about how we may communicate the
subject becomes a lot more complex. There
are various categories of communication and
more than one may occur at any time.

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION

1-Verbal Communication
2-Non-Verbal Communication
3-Written Communication
4-Visualizations
Verbal Communication:

Effective verbal or spoken communication is
dependant on a number of factors and
cannot be fully isolated from other important
interpersonal skills such as non-verbal
communication, listening skills and clarification.

Example- face-to-face, telephone, radio or
television and other media.

Non-Verbal Communication

Interpersonal communication not only involves
the explicit meaning of words, the information or
message conveyed, but also refers
to implicit messages, whether intentional or not,
which are expressed through non-verbal
behaviours.
Non-verbal communications include facial
expressions, the tone and pitch of the voice,
gestures displayed through body language.
Example- body language, gestures, how we dress
or act - even our scent.

BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION

There are many reasons why interpersonal
communications may fail. In many communications,
the message (what is said) may not be received exactly
the way the sender intended. It is, therefore, important
that the communicator seeks feedback to check that
their message is clearly understood.
The skills of Active
Listening, Clarification and Reflection may help but the
skilled communicator also needs to be aware of the
barriers to effective communication and how to avoid
or overcome them.

There are many barriers to communication and these may
occur at any stage in the communication process. Barriers
may lead to your message becoming distorted and you
therefore risk wasting both time and/or money by causing
confusion and misunderstanding. Effective communication
involves overcoming these barriers and conveying a clear
and concise message.
