Overcome barriers to communication with need-to-know interpersonal skills


Historically, hard skills or technical competencies have been perceived as more valuable in the workplace. However, as the global workforce shifted dramatically in recent years, soft skills are no longer considered nice-to-haves, but essential requirements for any job.


On this six-week online course from Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU), strengthen workplace relationships and sharpen your communication skills by exploring effective techniques and thinking styles, as well as understanding the power of creating connection, resonance, and empathy in mindful communication practices.
