As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Learn how to seek information. 2. Learn how to share about themselves. 3. Learn how to interact with others without asking questions. 4. Understand concepts such as ways of knowing, direct versus indirect communication styles, agenda-setting, and power.
