The most valuable skill you can have is…
Communication. If you were to ask me what is the NUMBER ONE skill everyone needs to develop and master in order to find the best opportunities possible, it is COMMUNICATION.
Communication with co-workers.
Communication with clients.
Communication within your relationships.
Communication with recruiters.
Communication with YOURSELF.
Text, Email, Social Media, Phone Calls, Teams/Google/Slack Messages, Direct Messages, In-Person Chats...
We have more ways to communicate than ever before. Yet somehow, we overlook just how valuable and important GOOD communication is to be successful in whatever you are doing.
We aren't AI or Robots. We are human beings. We are complex by nature, which makes it even more challenging to figure out how to articulate what we need, what we mean, how to express ourselves, and how to tell stories.
So yeah, get REAL good at and figure out how to communicate effectively. It all starts with you and learning how to get in tune with who YOU are.
