Communication skills lesson 5: Barriers to communication · Set 251 · 40 questions

Communication tip (Find the block, fix the block): Physical barrier: a loud drill outside, a crackly phone line, honking traffic, a weak network, talking across a field. Fix: move closer or to a quieter place, call back later. Language barrier: hard technical words, an unknown language, too much slang, short forms like “IDK”. Fix: simple words, ask what a word means. Emotional barrier: being very angry, feeling too shy to talk, being upset after a fight, fear of being laughed at. Fix: calm down first, talk privately. Distractions (a phone mid-talk) also block messages — put them away.
