Episode notes
Communication Mastery
- Mastery in communication is a continuous improvement process, not a destination.
- It's about getting better at something that matters, like communication, not achieving perfection.
Value of the Journey
- The journey towards mastery is more rewarding than achieving mastery itself.
- Self-reflection on growth is key to this rewarding process.
Audience-Centric Communication
- Design messages around your audience's needs, not your own desires.
- Be sensitive to your audience during delivery, but avoid over-interpreting their reactions.
