Overview/Description
How many times have you said nothing because it was "good for the team" or got angry before thinking over the situation? These examples illustrate how important communication is in the workplace. Communication is more than what you say. It's what you don't say, how you listen to others, and how you listen to what you say. At the end of this course, you'll have the skills you need to listen actively, use feedback in your teams, sensitively communicate verbally and nonverbally, and assume the best of your team members.

Target Audience
Anyone working on project teams.
