6 Your progress using the course map
The purpose of this section is to visually indicate your progress through the course so far. Figure 3 shows an outer green shaded box in which ‘writing … speech … non-verbal communication’ are located. You have already started to explore aspects of all these three communication channels. Other aspects of your study start at the centre of the spiral and take you around it, revisiting three segments: ‘building relationships’, ‘influencing others’ and ‘awareness of …’. You have now completed the building relationships segment along with parts of the other two, indicating that you are about halfway through the course with some more interesting insights to come.
