We use interpersonal skills to communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups. Effective face-to-face communication helps us: resolve differences, build trust, and have respectful interactions. As simple as communication seems, much of what we try to communicate to others, and what others try to communicate to us, gets misunderstood, which can cause conflict and frustration. In this one-day course you will realize the impact of your communication skills and learn how to use your communication skills to better connect with management, coworkers, peers, and clients.

- Recognize benefits of effective face-to-face communication

- Develop skills to listen actively and empathetically
