  There are many reasons why interpersonal communications may fail. In many communications, the message may not be received exactly the way the sender intended. It is, therefore, important that the communicator seeks feedback to check that their message is clearly understood. There are many barriers to communication and these may occur at any stage in the communication process. Barriers may lead to your message becoming distorted and you therefore risk wasting both time and/or money by causing confusion and misunderstanding. Effective communication involves overcoming these barriers and conveying a clear and concise message. Common barriers to effective communication: ·       The use of jargon. Over-complicated, unfamiliar and/or technical terms. ·       Emotional barriers and taboos. Some people may find it difficult to express their emotions and some topics may be completely 'off-limits' or taboo. Taboo or difficult topics may inc...

Glossophobia is a social phobia, or social anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders go beyong occasional worrying or nervousness.

Anxiety disorders often get worse over time. And they can interfere with you ability to funcion under some circumstan...

The definition of feedback is, the retunr o information that is provided following an activity or process. We are receiving feedback at every moment we are awake. If you reach to pick up a cup, how do you know that your hand is close enough to close it on the cup? Now reach out to pick up while keeping you eyes closed. What happens? In order to pick up the cup, you used your senses to provide information about the progress of the task, and to modify what you were doing in order to complete the task successfully. One source of feedback that we all use, when available, is other people. We notice how other people react to what we are doing. Their reaction might be positive, negative, planned or spontaneous. Whatever their response, or lack of it, we will draw conclusions about what that response means. We are then likely to modify our behaviour based on those conclusions, especially if we consider the other person credible. Feedback drives us to change. We all know about criticism an...

Interpersonal communication is the process by which people exchange information, feelings, and meaning through verbal and non-verbal messages: it is face-to-face communication.   When two or more people are in the same place and are aware of each other's presence, then communication is taking place, no matter how subtle or unintentional. Without speech, an observer may be using cues of posture, facial expression, and dress to form an impression of the other's role, emotional state, personality and/or intentions. Although no communication may be intended, people receive messages through such forms of non-verbal behaviour.  Elements of interpersonal communication:  The communicators For any communication to occur there must be at least two people involved. It is easy to think about communication involving a sender and a receiver of a message. However, the problem with this way of seeing a relationship is that it presents communication as a one- way process where one person ...

One of the most important aspects of any presentation is the materials you use to back up your pitch. They can mean the difference between a presentation that bombs and a presentation that gets you to the next level. PowerPoint slides are a powerful way to back up any presentation--as long as you use them as a prop and not as a crutch. One of the mistakes you may make as a presenter is to have too many slides. If you have a bunch of slides, and you can't really cover any topic thoroughly, then you leave the audience questions in mind than answers. If you're doing a product presentation, you definitely need to appeal to the five senses. The more you can get the audience involved, the better your presentation is going to be. Sure, you want to prove that you're prepared, but don't get carried away.  Don't bring your business plan or summary. Business plans and business summaries should be limited to two to three PowerPoint slides.  Don't bring a lot of paper or c...
