- It's more than just giving information; it's about sharing knowledge between equals.
- Communication is a process of transferring a message from a sender to a receiver, ensuring the intended content reaches the recipient and vice versa.
- It involves understanding the background, perspectives, and interests of both parties to be truly effective.
- Communication, therefore, is a collaborative interaction between people.
