Communication Skills for Teenage Boys

COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR TEENAGE BOYS

For a teenage boy, navigating the world is more complicated, competitive and demanding than ever. Succeeding at home, at school, in their communities and out in the world, requires rock solid communication skills. Stand-out candidates for colleges and employers must communicate effectively, succinctly and confidently. Many teenage boys find this kind of communication challenging (as most any parent of one is sure to tell you). This workshop is designed to help.

A special note to parents: This workshop is unique in that the boys will spend three hours working on skills then parents join them for the last hour to work together. The commitment is that at least one parent will be a part of this last hour. Registration fees cover one boy and up to two parents.

What We We Will Do:

Using interactive exercises and activities, we will explore the elements of communication, identify personal areas of strengths and weaknesses and explore various types of communication skills.

Topics covered include:

Communication Styles
