Communication Basics (2/15/23) via Zoom

Every problem in the workplace may not stem from poor communication—but poor communication is the root of enough problems that it’s worth talking about! What, exactly, is communication? What is the difference between verbal and nonverbal communication, and why is nonverbal communication so important?  What can go wrong when two people attempt to communicate? What can you do to be a more effective communicator?  These topics will be the focus of this two-hour session about communication.
