Top 5 Don’ts in Resolving Conflict

Handling the resolution process is a delicate enterprise that often requires a certain amount of experience and emotional intelligence. It is important to remember that in a conversation between two parties, there is only one person you can control… yourself.

How Implicit Bias Affects Your Communication Skills

Your communication is carried forward not only verbally, but also non-verbally. Your reaction to a subject or speaker may easily be conveyed through your tone, body language, facial expression, whether you are actually listening, and even your posture.

All the while, you are unaware that you have conveyed this communication because you are unconscious of your response and possibly unaware that there is a bias.
