Effective Communication Skills: Conscious Self-Talk and Self-Management

You don’t have to allow effective communication to be sabotaged by those automatic and often self-defeating defenses your mind puts in motion to “protect” you. This lecture offers practical techniques for creating positive internal dialogues and for being heard, understood, and accepted by others in difficult situations. This lecture, presented by Dalton Kehoe, is from the Effective Communication Skills series. Effective Communication Skills is your chance to learn more about how you communicate verbally, the common problems you can encounter in doing so, and how you can improve your own effectiveness—especially by overcoming the psychological and biological hard-wiring that often gets in the way of success. These 24 mind-opening lectures by Professor Dalton Kehoe, packed with the tools and strategies you need, are a powerful exploration of what’s really going on in any conversation you take part in.
