Messaging Goal - The project proposal that we have decided to do is

create a training slide show for communicating effectively in business. The end result can
be implemented in any businesses training program to improve their business
communications.

Key Messages The key point of this project is to provide a tool that
companies can use to be more effective in training business communication.
