One of the great thrills in communication is the feedback we receive from those whom we communicate with. One of the learnt aspects of writing Deliver has been for me to learn a new form of communication and feedback.  This experience has been not only through Deliver, but also through a number of recent media profiles that have appeared and been published through the broader community. 

Most of my current communication has a known audience.  My writings have been focused on our business and the people with whom I communicate have a specific interest in that communication.  With Deliver it has been very different.  Below is one of the comments that I received on the website last night.  It brought me back to thinking, not only about, what I was doing when I was 14, but also how communication can give you new insights on a person that you have never met.  Deliver has given me that and I get a great thrill from any feedback that I receive. 

The other known aspect of the levels of communication is that we recall only about 20% of what we hear, yet we recall 80% of what we read on a specific subject.  The written word is so much more powerful in communication when it is written from one person to another.  Deliver is a new form of communication for me and the comment below has awoken me further to the reach that we all have to communicate through writing.

This is the comment recieved last night from a 14 year old girl who read a couple of chapters of Deliver.
