Welcome to the latest edition of the Alaska Strategist. 

This month, we dig into why everyone who wants or needs to communicate well should take advantage of the PESO model. Despite the odd-sounding name, it’s now an industry standard that every company or organization should use. Having a tough time finding talent? Listen to Major Amy Slinker with the Alaska Army National Guard talk about a new partnership to connect veterans with employers right here in Alaska. And finally, if you need a break from online negativity, be sure to click on the video under the clickbait header. You won’t regret it. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
