The ability to communicate successfully is vital to professional
success. In this course, students learn effective communication
behaviors and skills for contemporary organizations. We will

values, and will engage in interactive exercises and practical
applications of theory, applying the skills needed to thrive and
lead in today’s organizations. Students will complete the course
