Communication is the art and the process of creating and sharing ideas. Communication is two way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange information but also create and share meaning. Communication is how you resolve conflicts, and how you understand the other person's point of view. Every interaction we have with others involves some form of communication. Effective communication depends on the richness of those ideas. When asked to define communication, how would you respond? Most people will relate to the forms of communication- talking and listening. But communication goes beyond that. Communication involves getting information from one person to other person. Communicating effetively involves having that information relayed while retaining the same in content and context.
If i tell you one thing and you hear another, have i communicated? Communication involves the perception of the information as much as the delivery of that information. In order to be effective at communicating, there are number of skills that you can rely depend upon your situation, the recipient of your communication, and the information that you want or need to convey. Communication breaksdown results in barriers against your ability to develop both professionally and personally.
There are two common ways of communicating which we use in our daily routine:
>Verbal communication
>Non-verbal communication
Verbal Communication:
Verbal communication is the act of saying what's on your mind with words. This form of communication is often taken for granted..such as saying regretful things and opening your mouth before thinking about what you are saying. Words can hurt or they can heal. So, it's very important to become aware of what words you choose to use when communicating to others as well as to yourself.

Non-Verbal Communication:
Non-verbal communication is the act of saying what's on your mind without speaking words. Examples of this include facial gestures (smiling, frowning), body language (arms crossed, giving someone the "finger", legs shaking resembling nervousness, sitting upright giving someone their full attention), and the impression you give to others with your appearance (dress, body image, body odor). The tone of your voice can be expressed non-verbally. For instance, if you are saying one thing, but your tone of voice is saying another, then that reflects how you are truly feeling without speaking a word about it (yelling and crying while saying your okay).
