The Art of Communication: Communicate With Confidence

Course Summary

Increase your confidence by learning basic communication skills, and have fun while doing it.

Course Description

Improving one's communication skills boost one's confidence and increases the potential for influence one can have in the world. In this three-part class, we will learn: • non-verbal communication skills (eye contact, poise, posture, gestures) • how to actively listen (focusing, observing, discussing); how to give and receive feedback • vocal communication skills (volume, tone, pitch, rate, stress, enunciation, modulation) ✨ Students are encouraged to take notes and participate in class discussion and role-play. FUN AND EDUCATIONAL Communication is an art. It can be practiced and refined. Practicing together can be more fun. Though intended to be highly educational, this class will also be laid-back and fun. As such, it may be the perfect option for students who are hesitant to take a communications class.
