Good Communication on Communication!
I have enjoyed all of the modules and certainly think they were worth my time. Sometimes when you are required to take a course you might feel that it was a time waster, but the presenters did an excellent job presenting and made the information interesting and easy to digest!

It was a good review of standard communication practices, not just for our clients but also for everyone we may meet. Active listening, respectful facial expressions, and general kindness go a long way in bringing comfort to others.
