Communication Skills
📋 What it is
Good communication is listening well, saying what you mean clearly and kindly, and reading tone and body language.
🗣️ Coach says
Talking is half of communication — LISTENING is the other half. Really hear the other person, then say what you mean clearly and kindly. Watch tone and body language too; a lot of a message is in HOW it’s said.
🧠 Memory hook
Listen first. Say it clear + kind. Watch tone and body language.

I'm a document that lists your skills, experience, and education, and you send me out hoping someone will invite you for a conversation. What am I?
A resume!
😲 Whoa!
Studies suggest a large part of a message’s meaning comes from tone and body language, not just the words.
✅ Quick check: Besides choosing your words, name one thing that makes communication clear and kind.
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
e.g. really listening, watching your tone, reading body language, or checking the other person understood. (Any valid answer.)
Communication as listening + tone (not just words) is a key social skill.

Next time you talk to someone, try repeating back what they said before replying — notice the difference.
