Why do we communicate? To connect, express feelings, persuade, entertain, and inform. Communication skills are essential for both happiness and success at any age.

Cool, Comms, Collected is an interactive group for Lakeway residents of all ages (5th grade thru adult) to refine their skills in effective communication. A certificate is available to participants who complete all five sessions:

Stephanie Threinen has been a Lakeway resident for over 10 years. She currently serves as Public Information Liaison for Lakeway MUD.
