“It is always astonishing how often people communicate incorrectly, making the same mistakes over and over again, from salami tactics to a lack of transparency. But proper communication can avert crises and conflicts, as well as help create new possibilities. As an optimistic person, my main concern is to send positive messages by imparting communication know-how. I look forward to working with curious and open-minded people.”
