1.2 You are a manager at Universal Imports and Exports marketing department, At a meeting, the CEO asks you to deliver an oral report about your department's progress. However, you have a migraine and
are unable to deliver the report comprehensively.

The Communicator >>>The message>>>Medium>>>Receiver>>>Effect.
Those would be the elements present and the barrier that is evident here is the unwillingness of the Communicator to do its presentation due to migraine.

Verbal codes are the voice that produces sound through the use of language to express a meaning.
Nonverbal codes do not use sound. These are gestures, facial expressions, the use of the hands or different parts of the body to transmit an idea of reinforcing verbal communication.
