Speaking clearly, listening attentively (Dr. Covey, "Seek first to understand than to be understood," Steven Covey's link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTLMmwXbIEE)), and expressing information in a way that others may understand are all parts of effective communication.

Play Dr. Covey's Seek First to Understand first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTLMmwXbIEE then have a look at Brene Brown's speech on the value of vulnerability  Brené Brown: The power of vulnerability | TED Talk ( https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en).

Consider including concepts discussed this week and in prior lectures. Your grade will be based delivery and your understanding of the subject matter.
