How come we never talk about writing when we talk about effective communication?
Leaders need to improve their own communication and also teach soft skills constantly.
So let's look at a common challenge:
"A colleague needs to improve their communication at work."
The way to help them practice:
"Encourage them to share knowledge because their expertise is a safe space."
The problem:
💡
Public speaking is terrifying, even in front of a small audience.
The consequence:
People (and don't we all) tend to procrastinate on one presentation for months.
Their progress is slower than expected.
The solution:

Keep writing,
