I think the where I really struggle is when say there is a conversation like that that doesn't go particularly well. Like if they're asking for the wrong things and it's your job to help them try and understand what the right things to ask for are. It's always a continuum and people can always improve no matter how great you think you are. So basically the listeners who most would benefit from this podcast already skipped it.
On the one hand, analysts generally know and accept that part of their responsibility is to not only conduct analyses, but to effectively communicate the results of those analyses to their stakeholders. On the other hand, "communication" can feel like a pretty squishy and nebulous skill. On this episode, Michael, Moe, and Tim tackled that nebulosity (side note: using obscure words is generally not an effective communication tactic).
