Develop further your communication skills: Beyond Advanced Communication ©

Develop communication skills to increase resilience in practice. How do we bring our authentic selves to our daily practice, and reduce the overwhelm we may feel in our work?

Refresh your advanced communication skills learning through this experiential three part course. Experiential learning will help you to embed real-world understanding and provide the opportunity for you to prepare for future work. Reflection upon the working examples offered will also deepen and strengthen your learning experience.
