Since I missed the session on communicating, I had to read the article on effective communication. I realized the importance of the receiver in communicating that is often taken for granted. It makes perfect sense, naturally communication will fail if the receiver and the source are not on the same page, but I generally don't think about this aspect when I am trying to get a message across. The entire process will completely fail if the communicator and the recepient are not giving and receiving the same message. I will definitely have to remember this every time I have something important to say.
