5 Habits of Truly Amazing Communicators
When it comes to job coaching, almost every conversation I have with a client involves the topic of communication. The motives can vary widely: Some people want to be more assertive, others need help with conflict management, and still others find it hard to speak their minds in a group setting.
As I reflect on all the conversations I have, I realize that most of the time, we're not talking about complex ideas. It's really the basics about workplace communicationthat seem to trip most people up.
So, since we could all use a good reminder, here are the top five things I help my clients with when it comes to communication. Identify the ones that you need to work on, and start moving them into your conversation skill set today.

The Communication and Family Relation Project
 On behalf of the University of Notre Dame's Center for Children and Families and the Laboratory for Understanding Neurodevelopment (F.U.N. Lab), Psychology professors, Joshua Diehl, Ph.D. and E. Mark Cummings, Ph.D., would like to introduce you to the Communication and Family Relations Project. The project is based on years of research and uses what they've learned to teach new ways to communicate and to improve relationships in families that include a child with an intellectual or developmental disability. They hope this project will strengthen family relationships. Because they're also trying to evaluate ways of working with families that include a child with an intellectual or developmental disability, different families may receive different content and materials. They are looking for families that include parents who are living together in the same home, with a child between the ages of 6-17 who has an intellectual or developmental disability and another child who is between the ages of 11 and 17. All participating families are compensated for their time and effort, and can receive up to $295 for participating. Prizes are also occasionally given to the children who participate. Your participation is completely voluntary! If you are interested or would like more information, please email us at [email protected] or call us at 574-631-5729 or 574-631-0956. If no one is available to take your call, please leave a message and we will return your call promptly.
