| Prepares for: | What are the Barriers to Effective Communication? When understanding is blocked communication becomes ineffective resulting in the kinds of problems listed earlier. There are many barriers to communication including: Using unnecessarily complicated language or words. Using jargon – not everyone will understand jargon that may be industry specific or regional. Language difference – it is important to ensure that the receiver has understood your message. Your meaning – make sure that both you and the receiver of your message both understand what you are trying to convey. Poorly expressed communication can alter the meaning. Also do not assume that the receiver will know the importance of your message. Preconceptions - don’t presume that the receiver of your message automatically knows what you are trying to communicate; or that they will let you know that they do not understand. Fear or anxiety - nervous receivers may be concentrating more on how they are feeling then the communicator if they feel anxious. Overload – giving too much information at once, making it impossible to absorb. Physical barriers – i.e. when using telephones or other such forms of communication poor reception can result in the message not being heard. Unrealistic demands- don’t presume that the receiver is more capable then they actually are. Take this course to help overcome these barriers and be a bettween communicator in every corner of your life: work, home and play! |
