Communication
is civilization itself...it is silence which isolates. |
|

|
|
| An affordable, pay-as-you-go, in-depth learning experience... |

The
Center was founded over two decades ago
with the ideal of improving conditions for
those needing to update their communication
skills, wanting to increase
their creativity, and desiring to create
their own futures. In the past
few years, over 600 adults have completed
our full, multi-session programs and many
others have enjoyed taking individualized
sessions. We help in other ways, too: discussing opportunities in
fields like advertising and multimedia; helping
small businesses secure low-cost
promotional service; by conducting training
at places of business, and more. |
|
|
Our
motto has always been: "All that we
get in life – good or bad – comes
to us from our communication." Reflect
a moment upon this concept. From our first
cry at birth we begin relating with others
to secure a livelihood, find comfort and
attract attention to our causes. Even into
our adulthood, our intuition reminds us that
we must communicate to succeed. Surprisingly,
however, many never consciously realize
just how dependant we all are on the communication
process; how the elements of the communication
process help us define our world; and how
they govern our behaviors. So, all sessions
at the Center portray the topic's relationship
with the communication process. The aim
is to improve each
person's innate sensitivity for recognizing how
"understanding" is the magic connection
that exists between the designs we create, the
symbols we choose, and the media we employ to meet
our real needs and to achieve the hope inherent
in our dreams. |
