Project Description
This course is provided through Coursera.
The course is intended for working professionals early in their career who look to improve interpersonal relationship skills among their colleagues, clients, and customers.

These skills show up in business relationships and communication and ultimately impact professional effectiveness. You will be able to demonstrate sound judgment by engaging in critical thinking to reach decisions and solve problems independently. You will be able to develop a competitive advantage by learning, adapting, and harnessing insights from past endeavors.
