Using Communications on Your Path
“You never know what's around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain.”
― Tom Hiddleston

Words create the path we choose to walk along.
It is a four part process that involves the sender, the message, the receiver, and feedback. The Sender is the one sending information to the receiver. This can be done verbally and nonverbally. The information that is sent is the message. The person that hears/interprets the message is the receiver. Once it is clear that the message is understood. the Receiver then gives the sender feedback.
Why do we need this class?
In a hyperspeed culture where everything can be done electronically, verbal communication is a skill that is no longer learned at an early age. When you are young you learn by watching those around you. If what you see is people on computers, their phones, and other mobile devices, then that is how you begin to communicate. Many lack the patience to have a full conversation without using abbreviations or shrugs and shakes of the head to communicate. This class will show you that it is important to slow down to take the time to not only converse but the hear about the things that are effecting our world.
