There's some insight here but it's a separate subject entirely.
In most situations, you learn by listening.
The challenge not offered in the article is to 'get them talking' in the first place if they are not natural talkers.
Finally - your points are salient on some level, but absorbing corporate schtick is not what this is about. Also, it's too cynical. Corporate schtick is just another form of communication, it's less personal, less direct, but it's also not evil.
Young people need to communication, but they will benefit from your experience much more than the other way around.
