When we experience stress or during times of uncertainty, our communication can be one of the first thing that suffers.

Being clear with the ones around you is always important in delivering a message, as is creating steps along the way. And lastly, try to keep a clear and calm tone in the way you communicate.

| 0:00.0 | Hey Spartans, it's Dr. L. here, your Chief Mindock for Spartan, and today we're talking |
| 0:10.1 | about communication. Communication is so key because how we relate to other |
| 0:16.3 | human beings and the way in which we interact with them really can set off either |
| 0:21.4 | us down a path of things not going so right or us down a path of |
