As designated by the USSPACECOM Commander, to workshop is designed to enhance communication skills and themes, honing participants’ abilities to develop compelling narratives and engaging stories.

The workshop will include development of vignettes, scenarios, discussion points, and other academic means to educate USSPACECOM leadership on skills for strategic thinking and messaging.
