When You Are Listened To

It can be quite frustrating when we feel like we aren't being listened to, especially when it is other people with whom we work. Considering that effective communication relies on a give and take of information, how can you work with the high schools and your colleagues to improve the communication process?

Your Communication Methods

That's great awareness James, especially with many students preferring email or text to communicate. It seems that your face-to-face communication is working well for you, so what can you translate from your verbal language to your written communication to help you improve your emails?

Your Communication Methods

Sometimes it simply being aware of our body language that helps us to make changes to better communicate with others. While a new chair may help, what can you do until then to remind yourself to demonstrate positive body language?
