It's no secret that learning to communicate effectively with others can make your job and your life a lot easier. In his easy-going and entertaining style, Dr. Scott Sheperd will help you understand the big picture involved in human communication. You'll learn how your thoughts and attitude affect how you communicate. You will learn practical skills to make you a more active listener, how to deal with different communication styles and difficult situations, understand the "agendas" people have in their communication, and become more sensitive to the non-verbal messages sent by yourself and others.
