Student Testimonials
See how some of our participants thought about the training and how it may benefit you.
This was the second time that I took this specific training and it was just as informative and enjoyable as the first time. I'm grateful that it was offered to our students and to the A.S.G. team, especially because it was with one of the same trainers that I had the first time. Learning about your own communication style and how that impacts your relationships with others is vital to the work that we do on our campus and within the A.S.G. I hope that the participants will use their newly acquired knowledge to improve teamwork and outreach to students and organizations on campus.- Laura Benavidez
Interactive and reflective are two words I would use to describe the Art of Inclusive Communication training. I thoroughly enjoyed the training. It was a great experience reflecting on my own communication style as well as that of others. As a student leader, it is vital for me to know how I come across to others and how to handle various situations. I feel that this particular training has effectively equipped me with the necessary tools to successfully communicate with individuals with diverse communication styles.- Hani Hussein
I'll have to say I'm a fair communicator with some training and experience in conflict resolution I've worked in security in places where I needed to use communication to avoid violence. I feel the training one can receive in communication perhaps is just as powerful as a weapon in defending yourself. I feel this class was extremely helpful and is totally a real help. This class will empower people to communicate better with each other on a daily basis, but also might help avoid serious violence. As far as the class itself the entire class got involved with group work, asking questions about ourselves and each other, acting out difficult situations where we resolve the situation. The whole class was involved laughing and having fun I think everyone benefited and had a good time too. - Rudy Cantu
