What’s your Message

On this Monday, we have received a message from outer space, via Commander Chris Hadfield at the Space Station. It’s entitled, “Space Oddity – Chris Hadfield performs onboard ISS with Larrivee Parlor.”  It’s creative, welcoming and novel.

What’s Your Message to “your world” this week in your career.  What do you have to communicate that you have some concerns about?  How will you get your message across to another person?  How would you like to receive the same message?

What’s Your Message can be subtle, direct, indirect, formal, informal, orally or written.  It can also be a signal.  As you work through your message communications this week, Choose Who You Want to be Known As. Have a great week.
