The Art of Impactful Communication is a good and fast way to learn about being conscious of how you are communicating with others. It covers all aspects of communication, including proper listening, body language and not making assumptions. While the only truly new parts I noticed were personal examples, the skills taught are useful and presented clearly and concisely. Recommended for anyone looking to improve on this essential life skill.
