Ruchi, this is excellent and I saw this firsthand in Sales. I crushed quota but kept getting passed over. So, I started speaking with context, impact, my perspective and tactical execution. Unfortunately, this is how communication needs to be done in order to progress. Even a masterpiece needs a beautiful frame in corporate.

Well said, Bryan. The frame analogy is a good one. And what's frustrating is that the realization usually only comes after you've watched someone with less output move ahead of you once or twice.

Hi Ruchi,

Thanks for sharing this and keep doing it. You help us a lot, believe it. Indeed, sometimes all wee need is the right communication, and those who are great on technical side but also develop this important skill will stand out.

Cheers!

I'm really glad it's been useful, Ciro. And you're right, the technical foundation matters, but the people who figure out how to pair it with clear communication tend to stop feeling like they're fighting the system and start feeling like they understand how it actually works.
