topic, presenting it clearly, truthfully, and
focusing on what is relevant. This strategy
can be applied anytime during an
interaction to maintain focus and maintain
effective communication.

Restriction in communication refers to any

limitation you may have as a speaker.
Additionally, this strategy constrains or
