Editor's Notes
- Effective Communication is a process where a message is received and understood by the receiver in the manner that the sender intended it to be. Interpersonal communication is information exchanged between people via words, gestures/signs and body language.
- Words are only labels and the listeners put their own interpretation on speakers words. Accent,tone and voice modulation
- To make people understand, convey thoughts (with clarity) or feelings, to gain an edge.
- Lot of other factors like time, noise
- How to give a visiting card/greet/shake hands?
