Learning is about internalizing what you hear and engaging in true self-reflection before proceeding with any outbound message
There is much to be learned from internal audiences—your colleagues, peers, and partners can shed insight that external audiences cannot.

communication and programs. Communication feels that what program wants to say is too
boring, wonky, complex. Program feels communication
