Mod #15: Communication As Currency
Syllabus Contributor: College & Career Readiness Strategist Dr. Christina M. Lapierre
We tend to underestimate the power of the words we use and how we communicate with each other. It’s never too late to listen to how we’re expressing ourselves, conveying our value(s) and ideas, and improving our process and approach. It’s especially important to share that understanding with students working toward their careers. In this episode, Christina shares just how powerful of a currency communication can be.
