How do you apply communication models to your personal development plan?

3 Transactional model

The transactional model is the most comprehensive communication model. It assumes that communication is a dynamic and continuous process, where both the sender and the receiver are simultaneously encoding and decoding messages, and influencing each other. It also accounts for the role of noise, context, and culture in creating shared meaning and understanding. To apply the transactional model to your personal development plan, you can use it to develop your emotional intelligence and intercultural competence, and to communicate effectively in diverse and complex settings. You can also use it to foster collaboration and cooperation, and to resolve conflicts and misunderstandings.

4 SMCR model

The SMCR model is a practical communication model that can help you plan and execute your communication strategies. It stands for source, message, channel, and receiver, and it describes the four key components of any communication process. To apply the SMCR model to your personal development plan, you can use it to design and deliver your messages in a way that suits your purpose, audience, and context. You can also use it to choose the best channel for your communication, such as face-to-face, email, phone, or social media. You can also use it to analyze and improve your communication performance, by measuring the feedback and response from your receiver.
