Looking for a job, or perhaps looking to develop skills that will get you noticed as a candidate for promotion in your current job? According to a 2010 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, good communication skills are ranked first among a job candidate's "must have" skills and qualities. When we communicate we spend 45% of our time listening. Most people take listening for granted but it is not the same as hearing and should be thought of as a skill. We actually communicate more information using non-verbal signals, gestures, facial expression, and body language. What better way to learn how to perfect these two important skills than through hands-on coaching from a performer who ha...s used these skills to convey messages on stage to audiences for the past 20 years?!
