This course should be the beginning of your journey on improved communication. There are numerous resources available in which to further your learning about emotional intelligence, communication skills, and leadership skills.
As a post action plan for yourself and your laboratory, consider trying some of the following:
- Start journaling. Journaling will help to develop your emotional intelligence.
- Practice self-reflection. Think of current and previous interactions in which you or someone else didn't present their best selves. How could the situation have gone differently?
- Develop a communication training with case studies specific for your own laboratory.
- Create a self-improvement plan that is specific to things you would like to improve upon.
Remember, these skills do not develop overnight, and it is important to practice continuous learning and continuous growth!
