How do I know? Because English wasn't my first language either.
What really mattered was this: knowing there is the working us and the communicating us.
The working us is what we were taught in school, which is to be diligent, disciplined and hard working.
But the communicating us is our ability to talk about our work and showcase our wins so we're top of mind when opportunities arise.
Without it, our effort, our visibility, and our impact gets cut in half.
Speaking well matters because once you've mastered it, you'll no longer feel stuck chiming in during meetings.
You'll also no longer shy away from giving powerful presentations.
You will be able to confidently advocate for yourself and your ideas, always.
