The Little Questions - Trailer

Why do so many people consider themselves an expert in communication? Is it an art or is it a profession?

Are there too many extroverts in PR? Is buying influence morally acceptable? Is it immoral to lobby?

A mastery of words is an essential part of what we do in communications. We simply must be able to write clearly and concisely and construct a coherent and clear message. However, have we as a profession lost the ability to write? All these critical little questions - any many more - will be discussed on The Little Questions podcast from Apella Advisors.
