  15. Make this your #Communication Mantra: "CLARITY. BREVITY. IMPACT." So you're clear, you get to the point, and you are therefore remembered!
  16. The Rocky Mountain Trap. Your imagined straight line is a back & forth between main points. No one knows your main point. #communications
  17. Our challenge is that we have command of too many words. Maybe we say too much. Less words often means better #communication.
