Effective communication goes beyond simply speaking to someone. It also involves careful listening, thoughtful reflection and awareness to recognize nonverbal cues, such as body language. Sharpening your communication skills can help you navigate conflict more smoothly and strengthen your relationships at work and at home. Respectful, productive discussions with co-workers promote better teamwork. Thoughtful and balanced conversations with a partner, roommate, friend or child can help deepen mutual understanding and strengthen your connection.
