		<description><![CDATA[It's true that there are internships which fall little shy of indentured servitude, but for the most part I've worked with some really great interns throughout my career, some of whom have gone on to become colleagues.  They have not only brought with them great enthusiasm and drive  but they are, increasingly, a lot more savvy about areas of (especially digital) communication than their crusty old analogue "supervisors."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The perspective of WPP group CEO Sir Martin Sorrell on the imperative for professional services businesses to invest in training is interesting not only because training is a part of my remit at Burson-Marsteller but because one of the most consistent answers I get from job interviewees when asked "Why do you want to join the firm?" is "Because I want to learn."]]></description>

It's not the Internet that we are addicted to, but communication.  That's what being human means.]]></description>

This resulted in some conversation after the presentation as whether this assertion was, in fact, 'right'.  QED]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The core assumptions are lenses through which we view the world and, specifically, our interactions with other people.  They encourage leaders to go into any given situation with a different mindset. From assuming that the other person did something wrong, we work on the assumption that no-one is broken and that the other person performed exactly as their model of the world said they should.]]></description>
