Assignment 1 (Communication skills for leaders BSL 4040)
This unit includes two assignments, which work together so you can define communication, describe the communication principles, and the major communication skill sets.

The five communication principles include Aware, Verbal, Nonverbal, Listen, and Adapt. Free resources for the collage are available at Canva.com, Glogster.com, or Word Document. You may also create your own images or pictures.

In each statement, include a real-life example (personal or professional) where you have used or experienced that principle. Indicate which of the three communication skills from the Figure 1.2 was, or was not, used successfully in your real-life example.
