I discovered practical ways to communicate clearly and effectively \u2014 whether in a meeting, an email, a pitch, or a presentation \u2014 by tailoring my approach to the audience and situation. This matters for my major because good communication skills are fundamental for teamwork, collaboration, and leadership. After taking the course, I feel more prepared to express ideas confidently, understand others better, and handle difficult conversations with tact and clarity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2679,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2679"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/11\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/emmanguyen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
