The communication process involves 7 stages: 1) conceptualizing ideas in the brain, 2) encoding concepts into symbols, 3) transmitting messages to others, 4) receiving messages through hearing and seeing, 5) decoding symbols based on personal understanding, 6) responding positively or negatively, and 7) verifying the effects of the communication on others.
