My friend and fellow Communication Expert Mark Bowden<\/strong><\/a> was recently on the TV show The Social,<\/em><\/strong> and revealed some great verbal and non-verbal communication tips for us to use or avoid when in conversation.\u00a0 Many people have a difficult time with the art of small talk, not only with getting the conversation started, but with keeping it going and making it more meaningful.\u00a0 This lack of confident communication can affect us both at work and in our social lives.<\/p>\n
