Have you ever walked away from an interaction with another person wondering, “What just happened?”  Or “I have no idea what that person just said.  I am so confused!” If so, you are not alone.  It is taken for granted that communicating with others is natural and easy.  It is not, at least not always.  Knowing a little bit about the different ways in which we all communicate, all the time, can really help to develop our interpersonal communication skills, and allow us to better understand what is being communicated by other people.

The following pages discuss the subject of interpersonal communication and provide tips for developing more effective communication skills.
