is a powerful process for relationship-building, team- building and establishing a solid foundation based on trust and transparency. Emphasizing relational intelligence over intellectual analysis and focusing on universal human needs, NVC encourages open and honest dialogue where individuals
have their input considered and valued without loss of self- esteem, build-up of resentment, coercion, or fear of retribution. This course may be challenging as it requires a high degree of openness and willingness to facilitate breakthroughs.

Writing for
the World of Work (Nov) PAPA3793, (Apr) PAPA3794
Business writing can tend to focus mainly on ef ciency and
speed, and much can be lost in translation (i.e. email). Without the practice and review of good writing skills for business (and the web), we risk an atrophying of our basic writing abilities. Learn the critical requirements of plain language geared toward the reader that gets to the point and breaks old habits. Tone, appeal, content, style and readability will help you get the results you want.
