Course overview: Communication is an interactive process – It involves at least two people. Each person is trying to get his or her message across to the other to ensure a joint understanding. Too often the communication process breaks down. In order to communicate effectively we must learn to listen effectively and that can be difficult, particularly when we have something important to say. But if we don’t listen we are unlikely to take our audience/network (whether one person or one thousand) with us.
