Communication is the process of a sender communicating with a receiver. The message may be verbal (spoken or written) or nonverbal (body language, physical appearance, or vocal tone). People who are great communicators take responsibility for their success in the communication process. You also have to be an effective listener and participate in the conversation.
- A Nonverbal example is shrugging your shoulders when asked a question.
- A Oral example is conversation between two or more people.
- A Written example is a letter sent to your boss or friend.
- A Listening example is active listening when in a conversation.
- A Telephone example is having a smile in your voice when talking on the phone.

Some ways that I could improve my Communication skills would be to be aware of how I am perceived in every conversation no matter how it is sent out. I could practice on a voice recorder and play back to critique my skills.
Communication is a very important skill we all need to be successful in life. How well we communicate with others reflects greatly on how well others perceive the message we are trying to send.
