25 Ideas To Inspire You To Become a Superb Communicator (and Why It Matters)

I challenge you…

to think of a problem that wasn’t precipitated or perpetuated by poor, sloppy, inefficient, insufficient, fear-induced, or toxic communication.

The opposite is also true.

With communication, we build bridges or tear them down.

With communication, we inspire innovation or destroy creativity, hope, and confidence in a better future.

Communication can heal or kill. It inspires forgiveness or perpetuates hatred and shame.

It removes barriers or erects walls. It opens hearts and minds or shuts them down.

What if…

What if poor and destructive communication were a thing of the past?

I get that it won’t happen today.

But what if you left with a decision. To become a superb communicator yourself. To make effective communication a priority. To be the one who learns how to be a good steward of this powerful tool.

Communication could help us thrive!

One word at a time. One story at a time. One choice at a time.

Scientists have already proven that words (thought or spoken) can make us sick or make us well.

In your possession, you have a deadly poison or powerful antidote. Would you want to dispose of the poison and become a world carrier of the latter?

“How?” You ask.

“How” is fairly simple. If you have a Why (You knew that).

Do you want to become a Superb Communicator—and by default a catalyst for positive change?

I’m going to assume you answered “Yes!”

That’s why I took the time to compile 25 ideas for us—from men and women who thought or currently think that words, stories, and choosing to communicate superbly matter—for yourself, for your career, for your relationships, for our country and countries around the world. For those who agree with you and for those who oppose you.
