Effective Workplace Communication
This project addresses common barriers to effective communication in professional settings by providing structured guidance on active listening, clarity in messaging, and feedback delivery. I developed a targeted slide presentation and a detailed instructional storyboard to support employee training and engagement. Tools utilized include Gamma (a free-to-use AI design partner for creating effortless presentations, websites, and more) for visual content and Canva for design refinement, aligned with best practices in instructional design.
Learning Objectives

Learners will be able to apply active listening techniques in workplace interactions to enhance understanding and collaboration, such as paraphrasing, summarizing, and asking clarifying questions.
-
Learners will identify and select the most effective communication channels (e.g., email, meetings, instant messaging) for various workplace scenarios, demonstrating an understanding of when to use each channel based on the message and audience.

Participants will craft clear and concise written and verbal messages tailored to their audience, reducing ambiguity and ensuring that key points are effectively communicated.
