What is effective communication?
Effective communication is about more than just exchanging information.
It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information.
As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way
that gains the full meaning of what’s being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.
Effective communication sounds like it should be instinctive.
But all too often, when we try to communicate with others something goes astray.
We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue.
This can cause problems in your home, school, and work relationships.

For many of us, communicating more clearly and effectively requires learning some important skills.
Whether you’re trying to improve communication with your spouse, kids, boss, or coworkers,
l earning these skills can deepen your connections to others, build greater trust and respect,
and improve teamwork, problem solving, and your overall social and emotional health.
