Communication: Is Cheryl Cole a good or bad role model?

: Mrs C no longer?

I watched Cheryl Cole perform last night at the Royal Variety Show on television. It reminded me of a previous post.

In What Cheryl Cole tells us about communication I identified three good communication principles. I illustrated them by Cheryl’s farewell message to erstwhile husband Ashley Cole.

But the tattoo (“Mrs C” ) illustrates another principle – think about the long term consequences of your communication.
