Developing Communication Skills for Non-Profits 4
A guide that every Non-Profit staff member needs so that they can communicate and listen better.
By Dr Yvonne Prinsloo

It has been said that “speech is a mirror of the soul”. People come to know who you are through your words. A variety of social situations, ranging from job interviews to dating and even to public speaking, can make you feel uneasy as you know and expect that you will be assessed and judged by others.

How well you communicate is directly connected to your self-image. The progression of revealing yourself to the assessment of others can feel very intimidating, whether you have to meet new contacts, participate in a group discussion, speak at a board meeting or in front of an audience.

The wide array of topics covered include in Part 4:

• Communication Apprehension.
• The Importance of Language.
• Listening Emphatically – Part 4.
• The Basics of Ethical Communication – Part 2.
• How is Projection Used in Communication?
• The Basic Emotions and Their Effect on Human Behavior.
