There are many forms of communication afforded each of us on a daily basis. According to Robbins and Judge (2009), communication is “the transfer and understanding of meaning” (p.351). Both portions of this definition can be challenging for people to effectively employ on a daily basis. Most people find it difficult to believe they are the problem when communication begins to break down.

Communication is one of the most important parts of any relationship. Business relationships are no different.

My personal communication philosophy includes two factors that will support improved comprehension among those attempting to connect. The following paper will discuss these two elements: merging communication styles to aid in understanding and communication intent vs. perception.
Communication is an essential tool needed to advance several major processes in society. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, communication is the act or process of using words, sounds, songs, or behaviors to express your ideas, thoughts, and feelings to someone else. Such interaction between human being is significant due to the innate fact that we as humans are social beings. Communication not only aids human beings in expressing ideologies, but in everyday duties such as education, work, medical care, and other key aspects. A lack of communication is dangerous in many circumstances. In two essays, “When Doctors Make Mistakes”, by Atul Gawande, and “Columbia’s Last Flight, by William Langewiesche the reader can perceive how a lack of communication can be lethal.
“Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit. Many of the problems that occur in an organization are: the direct result of people failing to communicate and processes that leads to confusion and can cause good plans to fail” (Clark, 2015).
Communication is the conveyance and flow of ideas from one person to another. The exchange of information takes place through letters, words, symbols and nonverbal behaviors. It involves the transmission of ideas from the sender to the receiver. Communication is effective only if the receiver fully understands the transmitted information. Many problems and failures occur in organizations due to poor communication. Objective and goals fail due to misunderstandings in the organization. Effective communication provides a chain of understanding to all participants in the organizational framework. It promotes the flow of information both vertically and horizontally.
Communication is an ongoing process in which individuals exchange messages whose meanings are influenced by the history of the relationship and the experiences of the participants. (Adler, p.384) Communication depends on relationships between the people who are communicating, and on common basics between them. Problems in communications between people may arise due to differences in cultures, perceptions, values, and expectations from life.
Communication can be conveyed in a plethora of different ways, whether it is a debatable topic between individuals a group of individuals, a problem or issue discussed in a relationship, or every day conversation between friends. Regardless of the situation, the information must be communicated, and perceived, accurately in order for the discussion to yield the intended result. According to “What is Communication?” (2013), “the discipline of communication focuses on how people use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media” (para 1). Information can be transferred by using numerous different communication methods such as verbal communication, written
