Healthy interpersonal relationships are central to our happiness, overall well-being, and work place success. Effective communication skills are critical in such interpersonal relationships. This course uses an experiential and self reflective approach. It aids students in the development of personal strengths and selfawareness that contribute to communication skills and positive relationships with others in daily life and in the workplace. Attention is given to many influences and factors affecting interaction (self concept, perception, emotions, listening, verbal and nonverbal messages, cultural and situational differences, and dealing with conflict).

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Describe and critically analyze the components of effective interpersonal communication skills.
2. Use self-analysis and reflection to examine personal communication styles and the attitudes, beliefs and values that underlie them.
3. Employ interpersonal communication skills to establish and enhance personal and work-based relationships characterized by open and honest communication and effective conflict resolution.
