I recommend this course highly to anyone who wishes to examine and/or improve their communication skills. I thoroughly enjoyed this course as the skills involved are useful not only in my professional relationships but also in my personal and interpersonal relationships in general. Once I had started I didn’t want to stop and kept going with it, as I was so intrigued and involved with the entire process, even though I had done lots of exercises relating to clear communication over the years. Such an invaluable course to do!
