Episode 26: Class is In Session // Courage in Communication

In this episode, I talk about two activities that I offer in my Communication classes that can help us all stretch & grow. They remind us as a society to understand that critical thinking and being human are both courageous acts. They are each a skill and we can get better at both of them with practice.

 

How can you stretch yourself to reach out of your comfort zone to grow in community, learn about those who are different from you, ask questions for the sake of understanding, develop deeper listening skills & practicing empathy?

 

I hope these two activities give you something to chew on - how being human in today’s world involves several ordinary acts of courage each day and they deserve to be acknowledged and celebrated - in yourself and others.
