“Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people”

Jim Rohn

“Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success”

Paul J. Meyer
