In this first of five episodes, Gwen and Will focus on the foundations of effective workplace communication, and how self-awareness plays such an important part in different situations, because people communicate differently.

They refer to the various different behavioural assessment tools available to increase your self-awareness, and they discuss each of the four Social Styles, the simplest tool to help with this.

With practical techniques to help you adapt and connect, this episode builds a core skill set that becomes increasingly vital as your career progresses.
