A COMMUNICATION CONNECTION CHECKLIST

Connection Checklist, which includes the following questions:

• Integrity—Did I do my best?

• Expectation—Did I please my sponsor?

• Relevance—Did I understand and relate to the audience?

• Value—Did I add value to the people?

• Application—Did I give people a game plan?

• Change—Did I make a difference?
