Thank you to @RayDayIBM, @GaryKoops and Sunita Menon for giving a great opportunity to here them speak about the future of communications. Also thank you to @mdistaso and @UFPRDepartment for this amazing panel.

An important question on what IBM is doing to increase their diversity and inclusion. A great response on the idea of doing more than just talking about diversity and actually making it happen. A great way to end the discussion! @UFPRDepartment @mdistaso #UFPRSSA

I love this thought from @garykoops. If you do something you have a passion for you will always do it well.

Ray Day on trust: it is the issue of our time, but also the opportunity of our time.... this issue of trust is becoming bigger than communication, it’s becoming a business issue.
