You Talk – We Listen
Hearing vs. Listening
There is a reason why we have two ears and one mouth – we must listen twice as
much as we speak.

Public Communication• Public communication is at the heart of our economy,
society and politics. Studios use it to promote their films. Politicians use it to get elected. Businesses use it to burnish their image. Advocates use it to promote social causes.
• It is a field built on ideas and images, persuasion and information, strategy and tactics. No policy or product can succeed without a smart (strategic) message targeted to the right audience in creative and innovative ways at the ideal time using the proper channel. The ability to communicate this way – to communicate strategically – is what Public Communication is all about.
