Great communicators are built, not born (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever listened to someone speak and thought, “This person is a natural”? Perhaps it was a lecturer who could explain a difficult idea so simply that everyone understood it. Or an executive who remained calm while answering a difficult question in a meeting. It could even have been a student who stood before a class and spoke with such confidence that you wondered where that confidence came from. We often describe such people as “naturals”. We say they have charisma. We say they have a gi
What AI is teaching us about human communication (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A colleague recently asked me to review an email she had drafted using an AI writing assistant. The email was impeccable; every sentence was grammatically correct.

Fifteen minutes into the presentation, I could see confusion spreading across the room. By the end, the stakeholders were nodding politely, but when they asked questions, it beca
Most expensive communication mistake professionals make (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A colleague once sent me a project brief that was, by any measure, impressively detailed. Three pages of specifications, timelines broken down by week, deliverables listed with precision. When I asked a clarifying question about the project’s underlying purpose, she seemed surprised. “It’s all in the document,” she said. And it was.
