In one-to-one communication you start with a greeting or warm-up. You can also exchange information by having a conversation. At the end of your conversation you say your farewells or wind down. When you have a conversation with someone you do not really know well you should always make a positive impact and atmosphere. The other person needs to feel relaxed and also comfortable to talk and listen towards you as it will show friendly and kindness taking turns makes this more effective. As soon as you want to finish make sure you make them feel valued by making eye contact and good expressions. (Smiling and waving)
Group Communication
This contains the same issues as one to one communication; it only works well if people want to be involved, some people feel threatened when they speak in a group if there speaking formally. It is not the same as one-to-one as there are a number of different people that speak, this makes it more complex. The group needs to have the right emotional atmosphere, if you use humour it encourages the people that are quiet to speak as it creates a friendly atmosphere. Usually in a group there is a leader the person that is in control the most having a leader can be good as they can get people to say their ideas. When in a formal group such as a meeting you need to make sure you know what you're going to say for instance making notes beforehand. You need to make sure no one is interrupting anyone that everyone is taking it in turns to speak otherwise this isn't effective communication people often lower their voice or slow down when speaking when they’re about to finish talking.
The difference between one-to-one and group communication is that one-to-one is two people talking to one another whilst group communication is three or more people communicating together.
Informal communication
Usually this is used with people that we know well including family and friends. Different groups might have their own sayings so
