“Communication is sometimes defined as the process of sending and receiving messages” (Cheesebro, O'Connor, & Rios, 2010). Communication is the transfer of information between two people. This is done by recognizing the sender's intent, understanding the context of the message, and responding to the message to be able to create a shared interpretation. For communication to occur, there should be a sender and a recipient. Communication begins with the sender, who must present the message clearly and appropriately. This is vital for the sender, because if the message is not clear and appropriate, it gets lost in translation. The message itself must be intelligible and understandable. If it is not intelligible and understandable, the medium in which a message is transmitted can become defective. The receiver must provide feedback to the sender about the message being conveyed to express to the sender that the message has been understood. An effective way for a sender and receiver to communicate demonstratively would be to send the right message, ensuring that the message received is correct, and ensuring that it is understood and understood by the recipient. Lee (2011), “Verbal communication is the spoken word and includes real words, intended and inferred meanings, tone, and vocal inflection” (Definition). Demonstrative communication involves the process of sending and receiving information and messages through nonverbal and nonwritten communication. According to “Nonverbal Communication Says a Lot” (2014), “The components of nonverbal communication, eye contact, facial expression, posture, arm and hand gestures as well as head position are extremely vital” ( par. 2). Body language is a dominant tool that is… at the heart of the card… with respect to feedback reflecting on what was articulated by the sender. Responding by summarizing the sender's message on an episodic basis is effective demonstrative communication. When providing feedback, it is important not to interrupt the sender, allow them to finish speaking, and then be open, sincere, and honest with the feedback.
