What is Communication?
What does it mean to you?
The process of communication is what allows us
to interact with other people; without it, we would
be unable to share knowledge or experiences
with anything outside of ourselves. Common
forms of communication include speaking,
writing, gestures, touch and broadcasting.
Wikipedia definition
Verbal vs Non Verbal
Can we communicate without words?
Voice attributes
What are they and how do they affect communication?
Physical attributes
What could be considered here and how do they affect
communication?
The power of touch
What and when is OK?
Which is better, verbal or non verbal?
Personal Presentation
Does personal presentation make a difference to
the way we are perceived?
Does it matter?
What can we do about it - do we have to look
bland and boring?
What if our organisation has a dress code?
The Communication Equation
What you hear
Tone of voice
Vocal clarity
Verbal expressiveness 40% of the message
What you see or feel
Facial expression
Dress and grooming
Posture
Eye contact
Touch
Gesture 50% of the message
WORDS … 10% of the message!
Understanding Communication
We are going to consider:
The 2-Way communication process
Effective communication skills
Barriers to effective communication
Communication is a 2-way process
Communication skills involve:

Individual Differences
What individual factors could affect the way a
person “sends” or “receives” a message?
Is gender/ age a factor?
How can we adapt if :-
we have a problem ourselves or
the other person seems to have a problem?
Cultural Diversity
What do we know about the communication styles
of different cultures?
Consider verbal and non verbal, including dress
constraints, language difficulties, taboos.
Group Processes
In groups there are obviously more people, so good
communication skills are paramount.
Be mindful to practise:
Observing non verbal cues
Listening, responding, clarifying, paraphrasing and
summarising

Editor's Notes

  1. TIME: Start on time Allow NO MORE than 10 minutes (TOTAL ELAPSED TIME 10 MINS) ACTIVITY: Ice Breaker Introduce yourself ( your name should already be on the Board) – very brief!! Set the example!! Welcome INCLUDING brief Traditional welcome. Housekeeping Toilets, Coffee, Break time - 15 mins at half time. Note taking - Handouts will include all reference such as website/texts etc. Time Management “for the benefit of the whole group” Introductions : Say who you are, your organisation, what you want from today –say one sentence about something you like OR hate Trainer Boards these for later reference
  2. Check that these objectives are what participants expect.
  3. Discuss job interviews; TV ads what people wear – how they cover up etc…eg Goth girl with tattoos who hides it from her mother; stereotypes
  4. Discuss how this came across in the introductions when people talked about their LOVE items and their HATE items. How did they sound? How did they look? How much weight did the actual words carry compared with their vocal expression and faces?
  5. Explain that this is a little bit of theory but helps make sense as to why communication can go right or wrong and can be handy to remember in lots of circumstances.
  6. Encourage participants to think about a situation where they must communicate with someone who is hard of hearing; anxious; has been put down in the past; doesn’t know who you are – what are some of the things you can do to help communication?
  7. Show the title of this slide and ask people to see if they can suggest some of the barriers-Then reveal the diagram when there has been 2 to 3 mins of ideas from the group
  8. Discuss what each of these means and give/ask for examples. Practise in pairs; One participant is given a situation/problem to talk about and the partner has to practise some of the listening and responding skills. Practice is also attempted in paraphrasing and clarifying.
  9. Handouts “Keeping the Communication door Open” – if time, have a practice
  10. 3 handouts 1: Open and closed questions; Questioning techniques; Questioning Quiz; _ use jelly beans for “prizes” for correct answers.
  11. Ask participants in pairs to identify as many different cultural groups that they can think of that they may come across in their vol work. Are their differences in communicating? What are they? Which are the ones that matter?
  12. Give participants a group scenario with a card for each individual describing their character. Ask them to try to resolve the issue using their best communications skills (Like DeBono’s Thinking caps)
  13. Ask participants to identify any laws that may place constraints on communication in a workplace….write on whiteboard and add any that may be missing. Discuss also what constraints the organisation may place on the nature of communication. Could use a case study to explore Confidentiality issue if time permits- I have attached the two from the Frail Aged module by way of example. Participants to identify confidentiality issues and the harm that can come from “gossip”. If in doubt, they should be encouraged to seek advice within the organisation. Who should they turn to?
  14. TIME: 5 minutes (TOTAL ELAPSED TIME 2HR 50 MINS) ACTIVITY: Evaluation Sheet HANDOUT: N/A Contacts for the future include organisations that have engaged well with young people. Networking can begin. Look to orgs like the Red Cross, or local councils. On a more formal level enrol in more training
