Effective communication is the cornerstone of career success 🚀… ESPECIALLY if you are a technical expert.

In the workplace, your ability to convey ideas, listen actively, and build relationships is paramount. Clear and compelling communication not only helps you articulate your vision but also fosters understanding, trust, and teamwork. It's the key to closing deals, inspiring colleagues, and advancing your professional journey.

For technical professionals, just expanding your focus from the work, to the workforce is a good place to start.

This means looking up from your PC and talking to people around you. To anyone, about anything. It’s not about the content, it’s about the connection.

More specifically it’s about strengthening the social brain and not just the technical one, as it were. As I often say, small talk equals big business and it’s costs us nothing.
