When I think of the word compassion, I think of showing sympathy towards someone or a group of people who may be suffering or have problems with something. When I think of communication, I think of people talking or people exchanging some sort of information. When putting those words together it makes me think of someone showing some sort of sympathy or even pity towards a person when having a conversation. It helps people understand that when they're speaking to someone or a group of people that they can't blame them and have to be able to take some type of criticism without getting offended.
Compassionate communication relates to public speaking in many ways. One way it relates is when speaking and showing compassion you have to acknowledge the aspects of similarities rather than our differences. Another way it relates is when speaking you have to be able to take constructive criticism by peers and people in a higher position same goes for compassion you have to be able to take criticism from people without getting offended. The last way these two things relate is you have to make sure people understand your side of what you're talking about because people are easily offended now.
