Beyond The Class: From Knowledge To Action

In today's digital age, interpreting nonverbal communication can often be tricky. Many people, even in professional settings, often convey some non-verbal cues through emojis. We will not spend the following skill snippet discussing which emoji best fits calling in sick or bringing up your discomfort about a project timeline, because, despite their usefulness, they cannot entirely replace nonverbal communication. In this conversation with Leanne Van Beek, she discussed these challenges and provided concrete examples from her prior work as an HR professional.

We also discuss how to use certain forms of technology to help us make sure our message isn’t lost when communicating quickly.https://www.chapmancommunities.org/
