Effective communication requires clear, accurate, and timely messaging through an appropriate channel. It also requires an attentive receiver who understands the message and provides feedback. However, barriers like language differences, attitudes, and distractions can interfere with communication. An effective communicator establishes eye contact, listens actively, clarifies misunderstandings, acknowledges others, and uses body language and vocal tones that align with their message. Mastering both verbal and nonverbal communication skills is important for building relationships and effectively conveying information.
