Elements of Communication
- Sender: The person who sends the message, known as the speaker or encoder.

- Mumbling
- Forgetting to pause
- Speaking too fast or too slow
- Forgetting to breathe
-
Psychological Noise: Mental distractions affecting the speaker or listener, such as:
- Wandering thoughts
- Preconceived ideas (biases, prejudices)
- Sarcasm which discourages engagement with the message
