Essential Communication Skills

 

 

We did NOT come equipped with Communication Skills at birth. What we learn(ed) was-is acquired through our family, friends, peers, media and limited to our social class. We interact with others based on our perceptions and biases. We adopt conversation patterns that work, but may not work as we intended. Confusion and frustration are often the result.

Ever increasing human diversity often challenges our interpersonal relationships. Communication conflicts are now plentiful and sometimes downright painful. And our communities are being divided by the words we chose to speak.
