    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Although every living creature learns communication skills beginning at infancy, effective communication requires a tremendous amount of attention, forethought and cognitive recognition of the entire communication cycle. An effective communicator masters the art of communicating through the entire communication process.

    Definition

    While no official definition for an "effective communicator" exists, we do know an effective communicator sends messages a recipient can easily receive and understand. In addition, an effective communicator uses specific listening practices to properly evaluate and respond to received messages.

    Sending Messages

    An effective communicator sends clear, concise messages to recipients. The most effective communicators make special efforts to ensure the recipient understands messages, and may restate the message based on written, verbal or nonverbal responses.

    Receiving Messages

    An effective communicator is also an effective listener. To listen effectively, communicators must receive, interpret, evaluate and respond to messages.

    Effects

    By communicating effectively (both as a sender and a receiver), an individual can avoid conflict, reduce confusion and create efficiency.

    Education

    Many colleges offer four-year degree programs in communication, and some highly effective communicators hold advanced degrees in the field.
