Communication is the act of giving, receiving, and sharing information, in other words, talking or writing, and listening or reading.
Good communicators listen carefully, speak or write clearly, and respect different opinions.

-Idea Formation: the communication process begins when the sender has an idea to be communicated.

-Message Encoding: the idea must be encoded into words, symbols, and gestures that will convey meaning.

-Message Transmission: choosing the medium to transmit the message is the next step in the communication process.

-Decoding: when the message reaches the receiver, the message must be decoded into its intended meaning.

-Feedback: a vital part of the communication process is feedback.  Feedback occurs the sender and receiver check to ensure the message was understood as intended.

-Verbal: verbal communication occurs when we engage in speaking with others. It can be face-to-face, over the telephone, via Skype or Zoom, etc.

-Non-verbal: what we do while we speak often says more than the actual words. Non-verbal communication includes facial expressions, posture, eye contact, hand movements, and touch.

-Written: whether it is an email, a memo, a report, a Facebook post, a Tweet, a contract, etc. all forms of written communication have the same goal to disseminate information in a clear and concise manner – though that objective is often not achieved.

-Listening: the act of listening does not often make its way onto the list of types of communication. Active listening, however, is perhaps one of the most important types of communication because if we cannot listen to the person sitting across from us, we cannot effectively engage with them.

-Visual: we are a visual society. Think about it, televisions are running 24/7, Facebook is visual with memes, videos, images, etc., Instagram is an image-only platform, and advertisers use imagery to sell products and ideas.
