Earlier today, I facilitated a YLNI Leadership Institute session on communication, and I promised the class I'd provide a list of resources--things I mentioned throughout the day and resources supplemental to the class. So, here they are. For those of you who attended, thanks for your participation, and good luck with the remaining sessions.

Thank you so much for your presentation today. The information was very useful and I will definitely be incorporating it into my communication style.

Hi Anthony,
Belated thanks for the great seminar on communication. I really did think that you did a stellar job. In fact, I mentioned the powerpoint style you used to someone at work, and they showed an interest in seeing it. I don't think you made a link available to your PowerPoint here, so, if possible, could you email it to me at kaushik.varun@gmail.com?
Thanks, Anthony, and keep the good work up!
