Public Speaking and Effective Communication Training
UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS:
Communication refers to messages that are sent by a sender through a communication channel
(be it spoken, non-verbal, written or visual) to a receiver or multiple receivers.
There are 7 critical elements of the communication process:
(1) The sender (2) The message (3) Encoding (4) The communication channel (5) The receiver (6) Decoding and (7) Feedback.
In short, senders must encode their messages into a form that is appropriate, to which the receiver must then decode
the message to understand its meaning and significance and provide appropriate feedback.
While this may seem like a fairly simple process, ineffective communication,
speaking anxiety or other factors can lead to:
Misunderstandings and barriers to communication - Which can occur at any stage of the communication process.
