The world woke up to a stunning announcement today. President Barak Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.  Regardless of whether or not you agree about the choice, there is no question that one person has changed the global conversation.  In a relatively short period of time he has changed world opinion, changed U.S. foreign policy direction, and managed to put the U.S. back on the main stage of world affairs.  He did it primarily through his considerable communication skills.  That is the power of words, of passion, and of commitment.

Each one of us in our own way has that same ability to be effective and have an impact with our communications.  What are you choosing to say each day?
