The Communication Process first step
t starts with a stimulus, an idea or concept that the sender has and would like to convey.

The sender encodes the message through verbal and/or nonverbal cues, then sends the message through a channel.

The receiver accepts, decodes, or interprets the message. The receiver may or may not
respond to the sender.
