he/she wishes to transmit to the receiver,
and is the one who is sending the message.

20. WHO IS THE RECEIVER ?
The receiver is the target of the message.

TOOL TO ENCODE MESSAGE
The sender encodes the message using for
example language that he/she believes that
has meaning for the receiver.

following the reverse process–in this case
the same language or symbols to get to the
meaning of the message.

BECOMES LISTENER
The sender can also ask the receiver to
repeat back to him/her what he or she
understood of the original message.

back, the sender can determine how much
of the original message was properly
understood.

effectiveness through feedback–reversing
the communication flow where the original
sender becomes the receiver, and the
original receiver becomes the sender, and
he/she is asking for clarification.
