"Tactical Communication: Control through Communicating."

This training covers the 3 ways we communicate – verbally, with tone, and with body language. It explains basic techniques in communication, and explores issues that lead to a breakdown in the conversation. It also outlines cues to look for that indicate when a conversation is escalating to a point of verbal or physical attack.
