3. **Learning to Speak Well**: Communication skills are heavily emphasized, with participants learning to articulate their ideas confidently, adapt their messaging for different audiences, and use communication as a tool to share their purpose effectively.

4. **Learning to Listen Well**: This component focuses on developing receptive communication skills. Participants learn to attend precisely to the words people use, notice tone variations, and understand emotional intelligence in context. This involves recognizing how emotions inform communication and how environmental factors influence both the speaker and listener. Through active listening practices, participants develop deeper empathy and more nuanced understanding of others' perspectives.
