I am finishing up an online course this week in Business Communication. I am amazed that there are so many people in my class that are terrified for public speaking. My question is that in today's environment with the expanded use of technology, i.e. email, IM, blogs, etc. are we losing an important skill set? I love to text message, but the interaction of one to one conversation isn't very intimate on a screen. Are we giving up closer and deeper relationships? Humans have a need to be social, but are we giving up the best part of it by relying too much on technology? Something to ponder.

I have been searching for new ideas on team building. I know that work teams are so important in getting jobs completed in today's business world. We are working with less employees, less resources. We need to keep up moral in these challenging times. But how do we accomplish this? One way, recognition, we need to say "thank you" more often. Yes, this is just a start but I will add more in coming entries. Thank you for reading.
