Hi @cloudcore @NatureLover @LostAngel @chibam @pinklollipop15 ,
1. Which skills have you found most helpful/useful?
When heightened or triggered, I've learnt to STOP and come back later to answer. It's not worth saying something harmful.
Which skills would you like to work more on? Pick two and I’d love to hear how you go implementing them in a conversation or throughout this next week!
Id ready like to work on pace of verbal communication. When I'm nervous, I speak really quickly and tend to cut people off talking. I need to practice SLOWING DOWN!
Id also like to take note of how many 'filler' words I use in a sentence.
What are some other verbal and non-verbal communication skills that you know and practice?
The way I dress is also a form of communication as my personal dress code may be suitable for some cultures but not for others.
Also, I find derogatory language very painful to the ear. It somehow hurts me a lot when people use it. This is a challenge because a lot of people use it as part of their everyday language. I hate asking adults to mind their language.
