List the three components of effective communication and give an example of each.
1. Verbal communication- This involves the use of words to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings. For example, during a job interview, a candidate must articulate their qualifications and experiences to the interviewer.
2. Nonverbal communication- This involves the use of body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice to convey a message. An example of this is a person shaking their head while saying yes, indicating that they do not agree with what they are saying.
3. Active listening- This involves giving your full attention to the speaker and understanding their message. An example of this is a therapist actively listening to their client during a therapy session and responding appropriately.
