“The more elaborate our means of

“To listen well is as powerful a means of
communication and influence as to talk
de
well”
John Marshall, 1755-1835

“Don't appear so scholarly, pray.

Humanize your talk, and speak to be understood.”
Moliere, 1622-1673

“If I am to speak ten minutes, I need a

week for preparation; if fifteen minutes,
three days; if half an hour, two days; if an
hour, I am ready now.”
Woodrow Wilson, 1856-1924

What do these quotations tell us? The most recent of the comments comes
from a man who died in 1950, more than half a century ago. The means
of communication adapt and change constantly, but the challenges are
timeless. Without communication -- relevant, modern, credible and appropriate
communication -- all sales & marketing strategies are bound to fail.
The twentieth century was the age of mainstream -- national print, radio and
television media -- an age where “news” was shaped and people followed.
The twenty-first century is the age of new and democratic media, an age
where the shape of news is determined by “social” networks, an age of
individual power, of institutional fragility.
