<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Having
trouble motivating your service
group members to attend meetings? Wondering why the student you tutor

seem to respond to multiple teaching techniques? Curious about how to
communicate
more effectively with potential sponsors and donors?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strategic
Communication: The How, When, and Why</span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thinking
about your communication
strategically will help guarantee that your messages--whether
face-to-face, in
writing, or through a presentation--accomplish their purpose. Strategic
communication is no more complicated than analyzing your audience,
purpose, and
credibility <i>before</i> you speak or write, but it can mean the
difference between
messages that fall flat and those that succeed.</span></p>

Breslow has taught management
communication in the Sloan School for both undergraduates and MBAs. She
is director of MIT's Teaching and Learning Laboratory.</span></p>
