Your Network they say determines your Net-worth, for me, that is a perfect way to describe it.
Over the years, people tend to celebrate people on their contact list but in clear term can't even connect with them.
Connection
is a two way thing, you can know someone and the fellow does not
recognize you, in other way too, you can know the person and you're both
in clear terms.
In a situation whereby, you both
communicates and do things together, call one another and execute
projects together, it can be called CONNECTION, in other words,
CONNECTION
is an existing relationship between two or more people, whereby there
is a mutual benefit coming from both parties with a clearer sense of
recognition {Ademola O, 2015}.
Connection is Interpersonal because it deals with face to face communication, feelings and emotions.
Components of Interpersonal Communication
Much research has been done
to try to break down interpersonal communication into a number of
elements in order that it can be more easily understood. But i will share the Commonly acceptable ones which include;
The Communicators
For any communication to occur there must
be at least two people involved. It is easy to think about communication
involving a sender and a receiver of a message. However, the problem
with this way of seeing a relationship is that it presents communication
as a one-way process where one person sends the
message and the other receives it. While one person is talking and
another is listening, for example.
In fact communications are almost always complex, it can end that moment or continues, its a two-way process,
with people sending and receiving messages to and from each other
simultaneously. In other words, communication is an interactive process.
While one person is talking the other is listening - but while
listening they are also sending feedback in the form of smiles, head
nods etc.
The Message
Message not only means the speech used or information conveyed, but also the non-verbal messages exchanged such as
facial expressions,
tone of voice,
gestures and
body language.
Non-verbal behaviour can convey additional information about the spoken
message. In particular, it can reveal more about emotional attitudes
which may underlie the content of speech. Your message could damage or enhance your connection with the fellow interlocutor. First words just like first impression matters alot.
Noise
Noise has a special meaning in
communication theory. It refers to anything that distorts or disturbs the message,
so that what is received is different from what is intended by the
speaker. Whilst physical 'noise' (for example, background sounds or a
low-flying jet plane) can interfere with communication, other factors
are considered to be ‘noise’. The use of
complicated jargon, vulgar words,
inappropriate body language,
inattention,
disinterest, and
cultural differences
can be considered 'noise' in the context of interpersonal
communication. In other words, any distortions or inconsistencies that
occur during an attempt to communicate can be seen as noise.
Feedback
Feedback consists of messages the receiver
returns, which allows the sender to know how accurately the message
has been received, as well as the receiver's reaction. The receiver may
also respond to the unintentional message as well as the intentional
message. Types of feedback range from direct verbal statements, for
example "Say that again, I don't understand", to subtle facial
expressions or changes in posture that might indicate to the sender
that the receiver feels uncomfortable with the message. Feedback allows
the sender to regulate, adapt or repeat the message in order to
improve communication.
Context
All communication is influenced by the
context in which it takes place. However, apart from looking at the
situational context of where the interaction takes place, for example
in a room, office, or perhaps outdoors, the social context also needs
to be considered, for example the roles, responsibilities and relative
status of the participants. The emotional climate and participants'
expectations of the interaction will also affect the communication. Do not talk more than expected.
Channel
The channel refers to the physical means by
which the message is transferred from one person to another. In
face-to-face context the channels which are used are speech and vision,
however during a telephone conversation the channel is limited to
speech alone.
Through this means, communication can be effective and enhanced and relationships can be built.
Connection is more than knowing one another, it is about the depth of how both of you know each other.
