Communication
Learn to communicate clearly, connect meaningfully, and work efficiently
This course takes a personal approach to identifying your strengths and areas you want to improve when communicating your own story, connecting and building relationships with others, and communicating clearly and efficiently in an ever-more complex world. You will be able to navigate communication with peers and managers and ultimately to create more opportunities to connect and collaborate. The less time or stress you experience communicating with others, the more time you will have to bring value and personal meaning to work.
