dennisrivers scribbled: The Seven Challenges Communication Skills Workbook and Reader presents a structured, intensive exploration of seven skills needed for a lifetime of better communication in work, family, friendship and community settings. It includes chapters on listening, self-expression, gratitude, asking questions more creatively, and more. The workbook bridges the different worlds of home and work. Following the lead of such teachers as Carl Rogers and Marshall Rosenberg, the workbook emphasizes that the same skills which help family members cooperate more satisfyingly will also help a work group coordinate their efforts more effectively, and help a community solve its problems more compassionately.
