Communication is an absolute necessity of everyday life.
Unless, of course, you happen to live under a rock in the woods somewhere – in which case, why are you reading this? For the rest of us, here in the digital world we live in we communicate with each other on a scale that is unprecedented in history. So if we are communicating a lot, why shouldn’t we focus on being better at it? I mean, it’s great if you post 20 posts a day to social media, but why sound like a 5-year-old when you do it?
