Effective Communication: Case Study

Three types of communication

Type Meaning for presenter Meaning for audience
Verbal What we are saying Listening to the presenter and understanding their purpose
Non-verbal How we are saying it Observing a person and inferring what their purpose is
Written Writing it: Letters, emails, internet, other media Reading their meaning

The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.
