Communication
Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being
heard.
People can only hear you when they are moving toward you; they are not likely to when your words
are pursuing them. Even the choicest words lose their power when they
are used to overpower.
Attitudes are the real figures of speech.

How it works
![Page 16: Communication Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/56649e7c5503460f94b7dc0b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How it works•lifetxt is provided on a small program that self installs on support groups PC.
•Security features mean the program cannot be copied to another PC.
•support group users log into a secure server to register.
•The secure database issues users with a unique login and password.
![Page 17: Communication Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/56649e7c5503460f94b7dc0b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How it works
• A member of the public initiates a txt message and sends to the support groups
NOTE:
Once a username and password is entered the link and any txt messages transferred between the PC and database is encrypted to ensure the message cannot be interfered with in any way.
![Page 18: Communication Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/56649e7c5503460f94b7dc0b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How it works
• If the original sender replies ‘again’ to the support group, the program will send the txt to the staff member who sent it or next available staff in the queue.
• Callers are identified by I.D number linked to the cell phone number
• Staff are able to view ‘recent’ messages only, however , total number of txts over time are displayed. *
Supervisors have access to all text's*
![Page 19: Communication Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/56649e7c5503460f94b7dc0b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How it works
• A full range of reports are available to the supervisor and the support group.
• If a member of the public txt again at any time the database will try to match the caller txt to the support member who responded initially to the txt.
