Boost Your Communication Skills (Feat. Dr. Dustin York)

Dr. Dustin York teaches at Maryville University in St. Louis. With clients including Pepsi Co. and Nike, he has experience in public relations and also worked on the 2008 Obama presidential campaign. His areas of expertise include helping people develop their leadership and communication abilities and navigate through digital transformation.

Dr. York offers valuable advice for students on how to communicate more effectively. He cites how older generations frequently remark that young people lack communication skills, but he says they’re mistaken. Communication varies in each generation, but the measure of success and advancements results from your relationships and how effectively you interact with others. 

Another practical communication skill is conflict resolution. It's important to listen to others; once you demonstrate that you understand what they've said, you'll see them relax. Then, when you share your side, the other person will listen. It moves you from conflict to conversation. Learn more about communication from Dr. York on this week's Motivational Mondays.
