Three C's of Communication

  • Clearly Defined
  • Carefully Delivered
  • Committed to Mutual Understanding

For example, If you are trying to sell a product to someone, and your posture is poor, you're frowning, no eye contact, and you're projecting a puzzled look on your face; the customer will probably be more likely to not purchase the product.

When communicating with others, it is important that you remember the following:

  • What is your purpose?
  • Who is your audience?
  • Do you know your subject?

Reflect back on the last speaker you heard. It could be a professional motivational speaker, teacher, coach, pastor, or parent.

  • What was the purpose of the message?
  • Did you understand their message?
  • How did they present their material?
