I had some experience with this in the military. People that outrank you often think they know more about your job simply because of rank. In Iraq our struggle was completing our missions based on our job experience and trying to follow orders by higher ranking soldiers even if they were incorrect. The struggle was real!

I really enjoyed watching this video at the very beginning of the semester! It was a great introduction to what Internal Business Communications entails. Your connection to real events made the content much more exciting to learn! These are my favorite type of videos that you share.

I love the quote, "Okay, you got this concern, I don't understand it...and now I have to think about it". I do not think have had a manager say this to me. I definitely will have to apply this from now on.

Dr. Schiffbauer I am very impressed with the quality and entertainment value of your video. In my previous classes the provided videos had been very basic and often quite boring, but you really make the subject interesting. The way you used the story of the Tower of Babel and the examples you provided from NASA really put into perspective how important business communications are. Looking forward to viewing more from this video series as I progress through the class.

I appreciate the production being so polished and professional. No audio or visual sores

[kateemcbride]

I love that you teach with such humor and passion, it makes it interesting and intriguing to learn about these subjects.

[coltersmith]

I think this is great example of how even at one of the best companies in the world, NASA, communication can still be something that needs to be worked on. Communication is essential for a business and even personal relationships to succeed!

[abigailhigbee]

I love the connection to the tower of Babel, what a great way to explain internal communication. Thank you!

[enocfigueroa]

this goes in-depth and provided so much knowledge

[GOCARZZZ]

Internal communication is essential and key to any connection, whether it's business or not. Both examples needed to communicate in order to complete the tasks at hand. Everyone needs the attributes presented in this video

[barrykramer]

It really is fascinating that God considered disrupting communication to be the most effective curse!

[patrickrasband]

I enjoyed the story about the NASA rocket failing due to a miscommunication between scientists. Mistakes happen because people fail to communicate clearly.

[TheMandieetatro]

Great examples of how important communication can be within a community and an organization.

[paulinadavid]

Awesome content! I liked how you used real stories to prove how communication is really important in different situations! can't wait for

[toch]

Thanks for sharing this Dr Lon. Totally enjoyed it, especially with the analogy of the Tower of Babel in the Bible. There is so much more depth to the subject matter, thrilled to see where the subsequent series take us.

[braydenshampton]

You have a great way of presenting ideas with great animations! I'm super excited about this class!

[patrickrasband]

Internal communication is important to master because most of our tasks at work involve communicating to some degree.

[hunterholland]

You have provided some amazing insight on communication. I find it interesting that communication is one of our biggest tools in life and yet is something that we as humans typically fail at. I also find it interesting that intelligence doesn't necissarily mean you are good at communicating, which means anybody can gain this attribute.

[marinanixon]

I like that you pointed out that God chose the plague of "hopelessly imperfect languages". I've never thought of it that way.

I wish I had found this video a few months ago. I had an employee that just didn't understand that his internal communication wasn't professional and was causing issues. I would have had him watch this to help, though it may not have mattered...
