 WHY COMMUNICATION SKILLS?

Communication skills are the basis of effective transactions in a training programme. Communication skills can be deployed while

 	Making presentations, both verbal and visual  	Dealing with interpersonal relationships

 	Motivating trainees

 

 

   LET US NOTE THIS


 * 1) Communications is the act of sharing knowledge, feelings ideas and information with others.
 * 2) Communication is usually a process of interaction. In the course of communication, the communicators influence each others ideas, attitudes, knowledge and behaviours through interaction.
 * 3) Communication can be verbal or non-verbal; face to face or at a distance in time and space. In face to face communication, gestures, body, language, tone and facial expressions affect what is being said.
 * 4) Communication is said to have taken place if what is intended is conveyed. Even while listening to the news, though it appears to be an one way communication, one can notice listeners reacting to it.  Since communication takes place in a context, communication is at its best when both the parties involved understand the context.
 * 5) Communication has four dimensions

1.	Physical setting (room, open place, etc

2.	Social setting (relationships of the members of the group)

3.	Psychological setting (formal, informal, friendly, unfriendly)

4.	Point of time (morning, afternoon, time of the year, etc.)

Effective communication should take into account all these aspects.  <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#8d9a42;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#8d9a42;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> In a training situation communication is usually of the type ONE to MANY

[Note: In a training programme, the method of communication need not always be face to face (lecture) on a training programme. The trainer can think of communicating to the trainees even in his/her absence, by thinking of activities of be done in the time after the sessions off sessions time could be used for
 * 1) Reinforcing what is discussed during the sessions
 * 2) Providing enrichment materials, experiences
 * 3) Setting interactive activities leading to better human relationships.

However, the off-session work should not be a repetition of the regular work. It should provide a healthy change, which in turn should lead to better participation. <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#cedff2;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;"> <h2 style="margin:0;background-color:#8d9a42;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;border:1px solid #a3b0bf;text-align:left;color:#000;padding:0.2em 0.4em;">
