It’s a Communication Problem, Now What?
“It’s a communication problem.” We hear and say that often as we try to explain what “went wrong” in a meeting, while conducting a performance review, in our day-to-day relationships at work and in our personal lives. Unfortunately, after we chalk it up to a “communication problem,” we often proceed as usual. What does it mean to have a communication problem? Are there solutions? How can we improve communication so that the risks of miscommunication are minimized?
This two-hour session will provide you with resources to improve your individual communication skills and your ability to assess and improve a variety of communication situations. Topics will include the role of perception and biases, listening, verbal and nonverbal cues, and how to create supportive, rather than defensive, communication situations.
Communication skills are life skills! This session will help you improve both!
