Guest: Kelly Skeen co-author of Communication Skills for Teens: How To Listen, Express & Connect for Success.

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Kelly Skeen co-author of Communication Skills for Teens: How To Listen, Express & Connect for Success. About the book: If you’re like most teens, a ton of your communication is done through texting and social media. But when you spend so much time looking at a screen, it’s easy to forget how to engage in real-life, face-to-face communication — a critical skill for your future success! As you become more dependent on your phone and the Internet, your ability to connect in person may diminish. Communication Skills for Teens is a must-have guide for keeping your communication truly real. With advice from teen coauthor Kelly Skeen, you’ll have everything you need to communicate more effectively in every area of your life — with friends, family, dates, and on job interviews. Packed with practical tips and exercises, this book offers powerful communication techniques and shows you how to apply them in the real world — without technology. If you’re ready to be the best communicator you can be, this book is your go-to guide! From Kelly: I’m a college student living in Washington, D.C. I love to ski, read, and spend time outside, whether it’s exploring nature or wandering around the city. I’m passionate about education and its transformative power. Working with kids is a very important part of my life. My two big dogs look more like mops than animals. Mac & cheese is a staple in my diet. I order it any chance I get and dream of keeping track of it all in a food journal.
