Learn about yourself, improve your everyday communication skills and enhancing your relationships at home and work. There is NO PUBLIC SPEAKING in this class! Class emphasis will be on understanding and using practical, daily, one on one communication.
We will analyze, practice, and investigate our family relationships, romantic relationships, and friendships. We'll learn to harness our emotions and non-verbal messages to create win-win conflict resolution strategies and hone our conversation and listening skills.
If you've ever walked away from an argument and come up with the best thing to say ten minutes later, this is the class to take to prepare you for the next one! This media-rich, engaging, and fun class will help you notice all the relationship signals happening all around you!
