Explanation / Answer

Communication plays a vital element in every aspect of our lives whether we realise it or not. It is defined as the exchange of information between two or more people and we often assume that this refers to just written and verbal communication. However communication is more than just words, it can be your facial expressions, your body language or the tone of voice you use, all of these things convey a message to the person you’re communicating to.

In business much of your time is spent communicating, be that internally by conveying your business goals, reinforcing your values, discussions and following up with colleagues and teaching your team, or externally by liaising with third parties, speaking with customers or marketing your product or service. This communication is only deemed successful when both the sender and receiver understand the same information. Without this understanding, a message can turn into error or frustration by being misinterpreted or poorly delivered.
