Learning from 2008's Biggest Communication Blunders

I had a college English teacher who had our class read the execrable tear-jerker, "Love Story," saying that we could learn from a bad book as well as from a good one. Communicator extraordinaire and speaker Bill Lampton takes the same view in his e-zine article, "7 Lessons from 2008's Biggest Communication Blunders." I submit it for your enjoyment as we look back on a year replete with such mistakes. (Compare his thoughts with my own best and worst communicators of 2008.)

By the way, a word about the author himself, Bill Lampton, Ph.D. I had the pleasure of meeting this most generous and accomplished man online through LinkedIn and his own website. Bill is the author of "The Complete Communicator: Change Your Communication, Change Your Life!" He is a professional not only in communication, but also in motivation, customer service, and sales. His speeches, seminars, and communication coaching have benefited top-tier clients, including the Ritz-Carlton Cancun, Gillette, Duracell, Procter & Gamble, Missouri Bar, CenturyTel, British Columbia Legal Management Association, and the Environmental Protection Agency. I encourage you to visit his Web site to sign up for his complimentary monthly E-mail newsletter: http://www.ChampionshipCommunication.com You can call Bill to discuss how his services will benefit your organization: 678-316-4300. You can also email him, as I did, at drbill@ChampionshipCommunication.com
