Introduction to Business Communication.
This course teaches spoken language skills such as negotiating, asking and responding to questions and public speaking.

What does one do when a video presentation fails and you are required to deliver the presentation?
Informal Workplace Dialogue 101.
The focus will be on social communication in and out of the office. It will involve face-to-face interaction that takes place in the break room, and during lunch and dinner business social events. You are the candidate or interviewer - what are appropriate questions to ask? What is small talk and how small is small?
Verbal and Physical Communication.
The emphasis of this class will be role-playing in real settings with real people. The student will learn to meet, greet, engage in small talk and learn verbal etiquette. Eye contact and body language will be emphasized.
Proper Crisis Communication: Freak-out Prevention.
This course will emphasize verbal survival skills, important in situations such as GPS failure, no cell phone coverage, no automatic tellers, and or electrical black outs. There will be authentic situations involving rapid conversing to reach an outcome using available resources to survive. A field trip to the dessert and mountains will take place. Exercises will be taught to strengthen one’s neck muscles in order to keep the head up, rather than staring at a dead device.
Cell Phones and Their True Purpose.
Each student will learn how to use his or her phone through speech and determine what are appropriate occasions for actual use, (other than parental contact). The forgotten skills of calling and responding via cell phone will be taught.
Lessons from Reality Shows: The Do’s and Don’ts.
In this course, students are taught that screaming and yelling are not appropriate forms of communication. They will be tested in the field on how they behave at restaurants and in other social situations. Curriculum will include social awareness instructions such as: restricting profanity, volume control, and turning off the speaker on your cell phone.
