The "Communication Skills for the Workplace" seminar hosted by Evelina Silveira of Diversity at Work Communications Training was both educational and interactive. I enjoyed learning some acceptable ways to mitigate bad communication practices in the workplace. I look forward to taking other seminars from her.
