Communication Skills Training

So often we struggle in relationships, not because we don't love or care for the other person, but because we lack the knowledge and skills to effectively express ourselves and to really listen. Mutual understanding grows when two people communicate well with each other. Successful communication involves skills - and skills can be learned. Conflicts can be minimized, relationships can be strengthened, and even job satisfaction can increase where good communication takes place.

The goal of this program is to enable participants to communicate more effectively, especially in their most significant relationships. Ample time is given to both theory and practice of communication skills. Participants from past programs not only found sessions to be very helpful, but also fun. A variety of options for communication skills training exist.
