Trust is the foundation for healthy relationships, both personal and business. No matter who you're communicating with, you want to trust them. And you want them to trust you. When trust is present, people are more open, honest, and willing to collaborate and work together toward common goals. However, trust is not something that is easily earned, and it must be continually nurtured and maintained. Communicating well is one way to build that trust, so in this course, we'll go over strategies for successful communication. We'll talk about transparency, active listening, showing respect and empathy, and knowing how to give and receive feedback.
