Effective Communication Cycle

All communications involve at least the following:
Sender (the person delivering the message)
Message (the information that needs to be shared)
Receiver (the person the sender is communicating with)
Feedback (effectiveness of message)
The cycle begins with the Sender:
State one idea at a time
State ideas simply
Know your audience
Explain when appropriate
Repeat if appropriate
Encourage feedback
Consider these tips for a good message:
Speak/write clearly
Use correct terminology
Use appropriate vocal rone and volume
Consider audience
Engage the reader
Proof read your message
The incoming message requires the following steps:
Interpret the sender's message
Verbal and nonverbal
Influenced by their experiences, attitudes, knowledge, skills, perceptions, and culture
Finally the Feedback:
Feedback is the final link in the chain
Receiver responds in some way and signals that response to the sender
Spoken comment, a long sigh, a written message, a smile
