Effective Communication, 24.-28.06.2024

Communication is the one and only characteristic that makes us so different from other mammals in animal kingdom - our ability to use words and connect them with our emotional and bodily sensations. Unclear communication is the most common cause of misunderstandings and conflicts.

Communication is our strongest weapon. Are you aware of it?Do you know how to use it properly and effectively?

So what to do about that? How to make yourself clear? How to avoid misunderstanding or conflict? How to communicate effectively and assertively? How to listen actively? How to give and receive self-developmental feedback?
