How do we communicate?
•Every communication involves (at least) one sender, a message and a recipient. This may sound
simple, but communication is actually a very complex subject.
•The transmission of the message from sender to recipient can be affected by a huge range of
things.
•These include our emotions, the cultural situation, the medium used to communicate, and even our
location.
•The complexity is why good communication skills are considered so desirable by employers around
the world: accurate, effective and unambiguous communication is actually extremely hard.
•

Categories of Communication
•There are a wide range of ways in which we communicate and more than one may be occurring at any
given time.
•Verbal Communication
•- face-to-face, telephone, radio or television and other media.
•- written Communication: which includes letters, e-mails, social media, books, magazines, the
Internet and other media. Until recent times, a relatively small number of writers and publishers
were very powerful when it came to communicating the written word. Today, we can all write and
publish our ideas online, which has led to an explosion of information and communication
possibilities.
•- visualizations: graphs and charts, maps, logos and other visualizations can all communicate
messages.
•
•Non-Verbal Communication, covering body language, gestures, how we dress or act, where we stand,
and even our scent. There are many subtle ways that we communicate (perhaps even unintentionally)
with others. For example, the tone of voice can give clues to mood or emotional state, whilst hand
signals or gestures can add to a spoken message.
