DESCRIPTION

This online course introduces you to the interpersonal communication skills needed for success in business and the professions. What does it means to be "professional" in your messaging, interactions, and your presentation of self? Students will have the opportunity to assess their communication skills and access resources for improvement. In addition to learning how to navigate some common workplace interpersonal challenges, students will be introduced to the job-seeking process. Considerable attention will be given to the communication skills for effective leadership, conflict management, teamwork, and negotiation. Learn how skills perceived as "common sense" have the capacity to impact your success (or failure), in the workplace.
