Effective Communication Skills

Patrice Carington


Topics: 

Presentation Skills… I know my son or daughter has to present projects in front of the class. Are there any tools that will help them to be more effective with public speaking?

Fearlessly Speaking… Is it true that the number one fear for adults is public speaking? How can I help my children to overcome their fears and to accomplish what they are afraid of? What tools are there to help them to succeed?

Parent- Child Communications… I am having difficult time communicating with my teen. Sometimes they don’t seem to be making any logical sense. Is there some information out there that can help me to be more effective or to understand them better?

Empathic Listening… Why does my child keep repeating themselves? I think that we have talked about something, and it comes up again and again.  What can I do about this?

Communicating with Compassion… My child is having a lot of conflicts with friends. How can I teach my child to communicate what they "really" think without them hurting their friends or losing friendships?

Assertiveness… Is it true that assertive people are more successful? Where is the line between assertiveness and aggressiveness? How can I help my child to get what they want without coming across as a bull-dozer?

Image… My child has their first job interview coming up. I want them to do well. What tips can I give them about creating a positive, long lasting, first impression?
