“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw Communication is about so much more than just the words that leave our mouths. This should not be new information. Plus, the challenges of communication are compounding as ...
Anderson Cooper decided to quit his moonlighting job at "60 Minutes," but not without a few words interpreted as "a dig" at CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. In an "Overtime" video reviewing his CBS career, Cooper proclaimed: "There's very few things that have been around for as long as ...

Many of today's graduates are about to make the same mistake Matthew Emmons made during the 2004 Olympics. It's commencement season for high school and college seniors.
