What is Communication?
Communication is the process of sending and receiving information between people. It’s how we share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others, and how we understand what others are trying to tell us. Good communication is a two-way street; it involves both speaking clearly and listening carefully. When we communicate effectively, we can build stronger relationships, solve problems, and avoid misunderstandings. Communication isn't just about the words we use; it also includes our body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. These non-verbal cues often say as much, if not more, than our spoken words.
