Straight Talking-A friendly conversation with colleagues can build mutual trust and can detect problems before they become serious.
Non-Verbal Communication-The Non-verbal signals like gestures, body language, eye contact attitude, facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. Developing the ability to understand others and use nonverbal signals will help connect with others, express their feelings, meet challenging situations and build better relationships.
Stress Management-Sometimes stress can be very useful and encouraging for work. When stress becomes constant, it can affect communication, clarity of opinion, and appropriate behavior of a person.
