I know some very bright people. I know some people who can tackle problems in a unique way. I know some people with all of those attributes and yet still they are bypassed for promotion, can't quite seal the deal, are overlooked and will always be known as a 'close, but no cigar' person. And the reason is simple; they don't know how to express themselves.
The ability to present an idea, communicate a solution and at the same time sell yourself has long been thought of as a master skill. However, it's never been more important than now.
Who cares what you know if you can't communicate the message in an interesting, informative and entertaining way. I know it's not fair, no one said it has to be fair, it's just.... true.
So what can you do right now to express yourself and get your message across? |
