Development of Interpersonal Skills
        The skills which you use in your everyday life to communicate formally or informally with the people around you as an
        individual or as a group are called interpersonal skills. These skills play a very important role in effective communication.
        People with strong interpersonal skills build better and long-lasting relationships, both at home and at work. They help
        you to communicate with other people under different circumstances.

        Sending, Receiving and Understanding the Message or Information

        Whether verbal or non-verbal, the message should be designed well by the sender. The receiver’s job is to understand
        the message in such a way that it matches with the intention of the sender. The receiver shares responsibility with the
        sender to ensure an effective communication process.

        To Express Effectively with Maximum Efficiency

        Avoid unnecessary words so that precise and meaningful information is delivered to the receiver. Facial expressions,
        eye movement, body posture and gestures are quite effective non-verbal signals that lead to maximum efficiency of
        effective communication.


                COMMUNICATION CYCLE

        Communication  cycle  is  a  process  of  sending  and  receiving  of  messages  using  verbal  or  non-verbal  methods  of
        communication for meaningful interpretation of the message when it passes through a chain of recipients. The timing
        and effectiveness of the communication cycle is based on how long it takes for feedback to be received by the initial
        sender.
        The main elements in the communication cycle are:

        •  Sender:  Sender  is  a  person  or  entity  who
          starts the communication  process.  He will                Feedback            Sender
          convey a message with the purpose of passing
          meaningful  information/ideas  to others
          involved in the communication cycle.
        •  Message:  It is  the information  which  the   Decoding                                Ideas/Message
          sender wishes to  convey to the receiver.  It                      Elements of
          is the subject with the actual content of the                    Communication
          whole process of communication.
        •  Encoding: It is the process of converting the   Receiver
          message into a form which only the intended                                            Encoding
          receiver  can understand by  converting  the                   Communication
          actual message into symbols, words, actions,                       Channel
          diagrams.
        •  Communication Channel: It is the media through which the sender passes the information to the receiver.
        •  Receiver: An individual or a group receiving a message is called receiver.
        •  Decoding: It is the interpretation of the message delivered by the sender.
        •  Response/Feedback: It is the response given with respect to the message received by the receiver. Feedback can be
          positive or negative, delayed or immediate. It marks the completion of the communication process.
        For Example:
        Suppose, a Science teacher is teaching the Importance of an Ecosystem. So, the teacher is the sender; the students in
        the class are the receivers; the lesson on the Importance of an Ecosystem is the message.
