7: Verbal and Nonverbal Communication

We communicate with our words and our body language. It’s easy to miscommunicate and not always send the right message, it’s also easy to misunderstand other people, particularly if we are tired, distracted or overwhelmed. Everyone can find it hard to get it right all of the time.

In session 7, you will learn about:

  • Communication and how to say what you mean
  • The importance of being a good active listener
  • Ways to improve your speaking
  • Other communication challenges that make talking and understanding each other difficult
