What is Communication?

I believe the person that displays competent communication within a particular context is my Bishop! Bishop Weldon M. Johnson. The behaviors that he exhibits that make him an effective communicator are that he gives eye contact when speaking and listening to someone, and he is a great listener. He also is someone that you can talk to about things and you will never hear what you have told him again, from anyone else. You can trust him! Our book states that competent communicators adjust their behavior to suit particular individuals and situations. To communicate well , we must ensure that our communication is both appropriate and effective and I have seen this in our Bishop through his preaching and one on one consultation.  I would like to model some of his communication behaviors because he is very clear in what he says. You are never left feeling like you still have not understood what he has said. You also feel like you have been listened to, and what you have talked about is held in confidence. These are behaviors that I want to emulate.
