Communicate and be heard

Today's sharing is all about communication.

What is communication? We all have different definitions of communication. But, the most basic definition of communication is the response you get from the receiver.

We all communicate for different reasons. Just to name some of them, we communicate to share ideas, to express our feelings, to bring a message across.

We communicate in different forms too. There's verbal communication, non verbal communication, etc. 70% of our communication comes from non verbal, i.e through our body language, facial expression.

Despite having the knowledge of the different types of communication, why we communicate, as individuals, we need to reflect on our communication techniques, whether we are an effective communicator.

Let's put it into context. I'm a grassroots leader, so I shall relate it back to the grassroots.

The question I have for you, readers is "how can grassroots organizations improve communication so as to have more residents' support in their activities?"

Well, to answer that question. We need to know: why we communicate, how we communicate, target audience, and the forms of communication.

I shall leave these question for you to ponder about.
