Event Description

Introduction

Misunderstood communication is one of the biggest problems facing all of us today. All too often people think they have effectively communicated, when in fact they have not, because each person heard something different. Positive communication should ensure a process for clarification and verification. When you communicate in a positive, respectful manner and environment, the highest level of dialogue is possible.

Purpose

This seminar will address ways that you can create the best possible process to communicate with those with whom you work, relate to in your community, and your families. You will increase your understanding of your communication style, identify barriers to communicating, and improve your listening skills.
