Introduction
When working with and through others, the process can be either rewarding or frustrating depending upon the ability to communicate. Beyond preliminary exposure to language grammar and syntax, and possibly a few elocution /debating contests/jam sessions, many people are left to develop their own communication skills through trial and error, particularly in the workplace. Resultant problems can make all the difference between success and failure in work life.
