Communication is the process of exchanging messages, which are either verbally and nonverbally. In order to communicate there must be a sender. The sender is the person who sends the message. The sender encodes the message for the recipient to interpret and receive. The message is the key idea that the sender is trying to communicate. The recipient is the person who is receiving the message. This individual has to decode the message in which they interpret or make out what the sender is trying to communicate to them. Verbal communication consists of the words a sender chooses to use for their message. An effective verbal message should be brief and organized. If a sender is rambling or unorganized it will be difficult for the receiver to understand the message. A verbal communicator has to have the right tone and establish credibility in the beginning. An individual must give and receive feedback. When verbally communicating you have to speak objectively, clear, and consistently. Nonverbal communications is shown through feelings, emotions, attitudes, body movements, gestures, eye contact and more. For example, a person may communicate with people through facial expressions. An individual face expression can help a receiver to understand the tone of the conversation. A person’s face is a huge displayer of emotions. The eyes tell a lot about emotions as well. Posture can also tell a receiver how a sender is feeling. Feelings, emotions, attitude and more are displayed nonverbally through body movement, gestures, and eye contact. Its not necessarily what a person says that matters, it is how they say it and how they display it. (Nonverbal Communication 2008)…

Face expressions, body language, posture, dress style are silent messages we send to others, sometimes not what we intend, but nonetheless. First impressions are quite important; it is also good when you can support the first good impression with appropriate knowledge, experience and ability to get along with people.

To begin with, nonverbal communication is by its definition “the intentional or unintentional transmission of meaning through non-spoken physical and behavioral cues” (Toma, 2012, p. 19), and it has different means for transmitting information nonverbally, such as facial expressions, eye contact, gestures and body postures. Moreover, according to Rashotte (2002), nonverbal communication conveys additional information about the behavior being performed, and it can be performed with other behaviors to reinforce the meanings of those behaviors or contradict them. For instance, nonverbal communication can inform others whether a person is performing a behavior earnestly with a smile or unwillingly with a grim face. In contrast, verbal communication is far from being a perfect method of communication. When a person is communicating verbally, there are many possible ways for…
