About the Lesson

Professional communication is the foundation of workplace success. It refers to the structured process of exchanging information, ideas, and emotions in a manner that achieves clarity, builds trust, and ensures action. Mastering these skills is not only essential for career advancement but also for personal growth, as it combines verbal expression, non-verbal cues, listening, and emotional intelligence.

Text/Summary/Critical Analysis/Explanation

Six people interact in a bright, modern room. Three stand by a tall table with a laptop, two seated women chat, and one writes on a clipboard.
Professional communication can be understood as a cycle where a sender encodes a message, transmits it through a chosen channel, and a receiver decodes it. Feedback ensures mutual understanding, while barriers (psychological, semantic, or organizational) may cause distortion.


Questions/Answers/ Assessments

Unlike general communication, which is broad and often informal, technical and professional communication is precise, goal-oriented, and audience-specific. For example, drafting a personal letter is general communication, while preparing a project report is technical communication.

A manager explaining a missed target should be clear about facts but also empathetic to team challenges. This dual balance maintains both productivity and morale.
