Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for high school students
Technology skills can be learned in the school environment, at the same time communication skill needs be learned outside of the classrooms. Learn how one can be effective in communicating with others through active listening - hear what others have to say by putting yourself in their shoes and ask questions to make sure what you have heard is what being communicated to you.
