Effective human communication plays a central role in human relationships daily. It is not surprising to see how interpersonal communication can affect our lives in different contexts. For newcomers to Canada, cultural settings, language barriers, and other factors could be a burden to have and maintain dynamics, especially in the workplace. With COVID-19, it became hard to establish effective interpersonal communication with the use of technology and virtual tools and with the lack of actual interpersonal encounters. Join us for a two-part webinar series that will move us toward creating effective interpersonal communication.
In part 1 of this webinar series, you will learn:
- The nature of interpersonal communication skills, culture, and diversity;
- How the self-concept develops and affects human interactions;
- How to manage impressions about others; influence of perception of others; pre-judgments and assumption; building empathy in human relationships.
And more!
