I want to be sure to acknowledge all 12 participants in this study, in addition to
any others who in some way contributed. Although not every practitioner I spoke with
qualified for the research, many were willing to help me find colleagues who did.
Finally, I would like to thank the other professors, staff members, and fellow
students I got to know and learn from during this program of study. All contributed to a
deeper understanding on my end of what being a good communicator really means.
