It’s time to put all the skills you’ve been learning together in this final assessment! Think back to the introductory module when you were asked to draft a leadership purpose and articulate your goals for the course. What have you achieved? What do you have left to learn?

In this final assessment, I'd like you to address the topic of "communication". This is a purposefully broad assignment; it’s meant to help you find your voice and use your creativity. You will need to narrow your communication and make it your own in order to be successful.

You can take any approach you wish. Your communication can be <strong>informative</strong> or <strong>persuasive</strong>. There are hundreds of different angles. For example, you could talk about your own communication strategies, or explain your leadership purpose and how you will achieve it, or you could do independent research and tell us about emerging trends in the area. (Be sure to cite your sources if you use others’ work. This includes visuals). You can convince us, inform us or even inspire us.

<ol start="2">
 	<li>Set up a blog that addresses the topic of “communication. You will need to narrow this down and make it your own, in your own writing style and voice, in order to be successful. Your blog should have an “about me” or biographical section, as well as at least three separate blog posts (of at least 500 words each) that address the topic. Think about incorporating multimedia aspects that further your purpose as well. Post a link to your blog in the submission area below when you are done. <strong>Submit your "about me" section along with your 3 posts in a single PDF document below.”</strong></li>
