Provide the tie-in between supporting materials and the five Communication Principles for a Lifetime

What will be an ideal response


• Be aware of your communication with yourself and others. The best supporting material reflects self-awareness, taking advantage of your own knowledge and experience.
• Effectively use and interpret verbal messages. Effective verbal supporting material is appropriately worded, concrete, and vivid enough that your audience can visualize what you are talking about.
• Effectively use and interpret nonverbal messages. Use visual aids to present statistics.
• Listen and respond thoughtfully to others. If listeners find a presentation boring, it is probably because the speaker has not used the fundamental principles of communication as criteria for selecting supporting material.
• Appropriately adapt messages to others. Sensitivity to your audience will help you choose the verbal and visual supporting material that is most appropriately adapted to them.
