Session Overview:

The Components of Communication

Albert Mehrabian, a pioneer researcher of communication in the mid 20th century, found that in any face-to-face communication the components of the communicated message are:-

• 7% – words
• 38% – tone of voice
• 55% – body language

In the email driven society of today, tone and body language are entirely stripped from communication. Using video to communicate adds back the ability to use intonation, expressions and gestures to communicate a personalized message.
