Strategic communications

Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people. -William Butler Yeats

Communication is a powerful tool. It is important to learn to use it wisely. A word said at the right time is like a golden fruit set in a silver plate said the wise book. It is good if we have good language skill. It is good if we have great knowledge on everything under the sun. But it is excellent when we know how to say the things that need to be said. Only when we have this skill we can make our voices to be heard. Having the knowledge is good but knowing how to express with strategy is different. Here is where comes the strategic communications skill.
