Why Do We Communicate?

Activity… How Are Your Communication Skills?

We are bombarded by thousands of messages every day. What makes this message easy to communicate? Why do we pay attention to it?

Speaking of Stop Signs…

Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever." Say What??? -Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest

Communication Defined n. The exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals, or writing. The American Heritage Dictionary 2 nd. Ed.

Communication Is How We Let Others Know… What we are thinking. How we are feeling. “Who says what to whom in what channel with what effect.”

Communication Process Sender Receiver Channel NOISE (Message) Feedback Loop

“Communication is not intent, it is perception!” 3 Parts of Oral Communication: Words Tone Body Language How we say something is as important as what we say!

What Causes Perceptions? What Causes Perceptions? Attitudes Past Events ? What’s Important Beliefs Comm- unication Skills Self Esteem

How Can I Limit Perceptions? Be open-minded. Respect yourself and others. Be open and honest. Actively listen.

What Communicates Verbal_____ Vocal_____ Visual_____ Total 7 % 38 % 55 % 100 % Mehrabian, Albert. Silent Messages, Words Tone Body Language* “You are the only book some people will ever read.”

It’s Not What You Say… It’s How You Say It!

It Does Make A Difference… I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money. I never said I saw him take the money.

Or Even How You Write It…

The Problem… I speak at 125 wpm I hear at 400 wpm I think at 4000 wpm 75% of what is said is never heard! “Speaking is a lousy input for communication.”

Activity… How Do Your Behavioral Characteristics Stack Up?

You cannot (not) communicate. “Once a word goes out of your mouth, you can never swallow it again.” -Russian Proverb No form of communication is simple. Communication doesn’t occur in a vacuum.

And Finally… You can compare the communication process to Murphy’s Law: –If communication can fail, it will. –If a message can be understood in different ways, it will be understood in just that way which does the most harm. –There is always somebody who knows better than you what you meant by your message. –The more communication there is, the more difficult it is for communication to succeed. –Osmo Wiio
