Learning The Skill of Explanation
You probably explain ideas every day. We all do. In fact, we do it so often that we take it for granted. They just... happen.
You'd think something so common and important would be taught in school or be part of professional development. But no. We're left to figure it out on our own. We deserve better.
I believe that explanation is a skill that can be developed and put to work. With a bit of knowledge and practice, you can become a better explainer and use that skill in multiple parts of your life.
Whatever your role, communication and explanation play a vital part. Now is the time to stop taking it for granted. I created this course to help you understand what goes into a clear explanation and how to make clear communication work for you.
