What is Communication Skills Enrichment?
The Communication Skills Enrichment program presents communication skills useful in personal and professional relationships. This is a comprehensive, professional course for enhancing participants' abilities to communicate sincerity, respect, and empathy in helping situations.
LLL of FL/ESI covers charge for the basic series to Leaders and Leader Applicants. LLL members pay $30 and WIC or other professionals outside of LLL pay a fee of $45. While the training is intensive, nursing babies are welcome as the group will work around mother-baby needs. To find out how to set up a series in your area, print out the "Communication Skills Enrichment Sessions" link above.
Throughout the year, trained Communication Skills Instructors (CSI) of the Communication Skills Department are available to offer a series or other sessions for LLL and for other groups and organizations. If you are interested in a series in your area please contact Katherine Abbey, (813) 671-5307,
