message.  
You 
will 
laugh 
while 
you
 learn 
to 
communicate 
effectively. 
 In 
today’s 
world, 
it’s 
harder 
than 
ever 
before 
to 
get
 people 
to 
listen 
to 
you.
  Here’s 
how
 to 
make 
that 
happen, 
presented 
concisely 
and
 clearly.  
Learn 
how
 to
 get
 the
 most 
out 
of 
voicemail 
and 
E‐mail.  
Learn 
how 
to
 make 
an
 impact on 
the 
people 
you 
need 
to 
reach.  
And, 
find 
out 
which 
radio 
station 
everybody
 loves 
to 
listen 
to, 
and 
why.  
Apply 
what 
you 
learn 
to 
everything 
you 
say 
and 
write, 
both
 at 
home
 and 
at 
work.  
Computer 
animation, 
audio 
drop‐ins,
 written 
practice 
exercises
 and
 lots 
of 
humor 
blend 
together 
to 
make 
this 
an 
informative 
and 
entertaining 
seminar.
 It’s 
just 
what 
you 
need
 in
 order 
to 
be
 heard
 in 
today’s 
world.
