What questions or struggles have you faced when it comes to communication skills?

In this fast-paced and multi-tasking environment, it is a challenge for both communicator and receiver to be mindful of communication flows, be prompt and accurate in communicating and decoding/understanding the message.

Be succinct in communicating, learn both verbal and non-verbal modes to improve communication and understanding.

From my experience two things block effective communication; not enough listening or time put aside to complete a conversation.

This is such an interesting topic Therese, thank you for bringing it up. You are right that it may be stronger in some cultures. For you, as a woman, I would strongly recommend mastering practice #3 in the guide and also practice "power gaze" (this is something I will teach later on), however, it basically means to keep your eyes looking at the eyes and forehead of the person you are speaking with when you are keeping eye contact (avoid looking below the level of the eyes). I hope that makes sense.
