Interpersonal communication is a key life skill and can be used to: give and collect information, influence the attitudes and behaviour of others, form contacts and maintain relationships, and make decisions and solve problems” (Skills You Need, 2014). I have personally employed interpersonal communication skills with former colleagues to ensure that my intended message was received correctly and to emphasize certain aspects of my speech. When talking with a subordinate who was very skilled at her position but who also spoke English as a second language and at times had difficulty communication with clients, I would always reinforce my language with hand gestures and head nods.

Interpersonal communication can be described as communication that occurs between two or more individuals. While communication can be either verbal, nonverbal, or written, interpersonal communication is more commonly practiced through face to face, verbal communication (Burton, 2011). The interpersonal communication process begins with a “sender”, which is the person that is communicating a message to another person. The “receiver” is the person that is retrieving the message from the sender. It is then the receiver’s job to interpret the message, and give feedback to the sender, allowing them to know that the message was received, and understood (Burton, 2011).
Communication is the process of gathering meaning from the world around us and using verbal and non-verbal messages to share this meaning with others.

Within nursing, there is a very delicate balance between a nurse and her patient that must be maintained if the patient is to receive the care that he or she is entitled to receive. The patient must feel comfortable trusting his nurse to hear his needs and respond to them appropriately and in order for this to be the case, the nurse must first provide therapeutic communication effective enough to elicit such a response in her patient. There are both verbal and non-verbal components within the nurse-patient relationship.

Business communication needs to become interpersonal again. No matter how we believe our human forms came into existence, we were built to need personal contact and function best with face-to-face communication. As children, we desired comfort from touch, a hug from our mothers. As teenagers, we held hands with our boyfriend or girlfriend. As adults in the workforce, we still need to feel that connection and comfort with our families and the people we work with.
