As a counsellor I have found that poor communication skills compound many issues.
Communication is more than just how you talk to someone, what you say, or the way you say it.
How you communicate can affect your relationships, career, family and social activities.
Understanding the art of good communication will help you enhance your interactions with others. There are many techniques to ensure effective communication such as
o Active listening skills
o Body language
o Reflection
o Paraphrasing
o Body Image
o Clear messages
o Appropriate assertiveness
