Defining Communication Communication is more than sending and receiving messages — it is about **ensuring those messages are understood**. Many barriers can block understanding, including noise, language differences, culture, disinterest, emotion, and vocabulary. Two key techniques for removing those barriers: **Empathy:** Make a conscious decision to understand the other person's perspective. Set aside your own judgments and give your full attention to them. **Rephrasing/Reframing:** Restate what you have heard in your own words. This shows you understand while giving you a moment to formulate an appropriate response. > *"We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we talk."* --- Body Language Basics Much of your face-to-face communication happens **non-verbally**. Key elements include: **Facial expression** — keep it pleasant and relaxed **Smiling** — puts people at ease and signals you enjoy your role **Eye contact** — steady and confident, without staring; signals honesty and genuine interest **Overall posture** — lean in, minimise distractions, and project calm confidence --- Your Voice Your attitude travels through your voice. A calm, firm, and caring tone diffuses tension and builds trust. If your tone is annoyed or condescending, the customer may become more agitated. Pay attention to your pace — clear communication uses appropriate pauses and inflections. --- Asking Questions **Closed questions** gather confirmation or a yes/no answer.
