- #4: This exercise is designed to give participants an opportunity to practice communication skills by asking questions of a partner, and then interviewing their partner. Each person reports back to the group on what they learned about their partner. Discuss some differences in the types of information shared. For instance, someone may focus on telling about their personal life, other their professional life, others their travels, etc.
- #5: What is communication? Communicating and communication are complex interactions with a variety of definitions. A short definition is that communication is a process in which a person, through language, signs and symbols, conveys a message to another person. In order to understand the communication process, it is important to examine the basic elements and their impact on the message.
