 I pay attention to how I communicate and change it when needed.

I always see feedback as a chance to improve my communication.

Message has a purpose and makes an impact

I use what I know and my gut feelings to help my audience think about new ideas that go beyond what they already know or believe.

I can create messages that stick in people’s minds and make them want to act.
