Foundation: Professionalism and Communication

Although we communicate every day, it is a skill that we take for granted. Yet it is the bedrock of human interaction!

Communication and professionalism skills permeate every module throughout this Resource and have consequential outcomes.

These skills are imperative for building trust, community and relationships, conflict resolution, negotiation, and career search-obtaining a job and advancing your career. Conversely, on a grand scale if executed unskillfully can instigate wars. This is the power of communication! 

While the content of your message is important, there are three key components that can potentially have a significant impact on your career positively or negatively:

• Nonverbal communication (body language),
• paraverbal communication, and
• human elements.
