About Lesson

Lesson Overview

In this first lesson, we’ll explore the fundamental models of communication. You’ll learn that communication isn’t just about talking; it’s a dynamic process that involves sending, receiving, and interpreting messages.

What You’ll Learn

  • Understanding Communication Models
    • Linear vs. transactional communication
  • The Role of Feedback
    • How feedback shapes effective communication
  • Active Listening Skills
    • Techniques to become a better listener

Lesson Content

1. Communication Models: The Building Blocks

Linear Communication Model

  • Definition: A one-way process where a sender transmits a message to a receiver without expecting feedback.
  • Example: A recorded announcement at a train station.
  • Limitation: No opportunity for the sender to know if the message was understood.

Transactional Communication Model

  • Definition: A two-way process where both sender and receiver are involved in encoding, sending, receiving, and decoding messages simultaneously.
  • Example: A lively conversation with a friend where both of you are actively participating.
  • Benefit: Allows for immediate feedback and adjustment of messages.

**🕹️ Fun Fact: Think of linear communication as sending a text message without read receipts, while transactional communication is like a video call where you can see and hear reactions in real-time!

2. The Power of Feedback

  • Closes the Loop: Feedback ensures the message was received and understood as intended.
  • Enhances Relationships: Opens doors for trust and deeper connections.
  • Improves Performance: Provides insights for improvement in personal and professional settings.

3. Active Listening: Your Secret Weapon

  • Fully Engage: Give the speaker your undivided attention.
  • Show You’re Listening: Use non-verbal cues like nodding and maintaining eye contact.
  • Provide Feedback: Paraphrase or ask questions to confirm understanding.

🎯 Activity: Active Listening Challenge

Pair up with a friend or family member for a 5-minute conversation. Practice active listening by:

  1. Maintaining eye contact.
  2. Avoiding interruptions.
  3. Summarizing what they said afterward.

Switch roles and discuss how it felt to be truly heard!
