Communication:
"Any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about
that person's needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. Communication may
be intentional or unintentional, may involve conventional or unconventional signals, may
take linguistic or nonlinguistic forms, and may occur through spoken or other modes."
In business and in the workplace, on the domestic front and in our social lives, we all stand to
benefit from more effective communication skills.

with customers and fellow

era, face-to-face interaction
is extremely important.
