world, by UBI Global.\u00a0 I am proud to be on the YEDI team, where my primary role is to improve the business communication skills of our entrepreneurs in the areas of leadership, customer service, networking and pitching skills (<em>from slides to body language!<\/em>) and branding. \u00a0 As an original co-founder of YEDI I can attest that having communication skills training was always part of the formula for YEDI, since a great idea will be wasted or shelved if the business owner cannot express it in a simple and impactful way to potential partners and investors, catching their attention and clearly understanding how they will benefit.\u00a0 At the risk of sounding too self-serving, I wish YEDI continued success and exciting developments in the near future!<\/p>\n<p><a
