Learn how to master communication skills, improve listening skills, and deliver a clear message
Effective communication involves a lot more than just speaking. In this three-hour workshop, discover your communication style and learn how to adapt it.
The first module looks at communication styles and the barriers that get in the way, with particular attention to what it means to communicate assertively rather than passively or aggressively.
The second module follows a message from intention through to delivery, covering how body language and tone change what people actually hear, and how to deliver a message that lands clearly.
The final module turns to active listening, which is where most communication actually breaks down. You’ll practice listening with openness and learn techniques that make the other person feel heard.

Step-by-step instruction to boost retention
The Career Centers instructors are highly skilled communicators who really know their craft. They are wonderful about explaining and re-explaining when necessary and I never felt rushed or foolish for asking a question.
