Humility. You must recognize that you can do better to make your communication more accessible.
-
Caring. You must genuinely care about equity, inclusion, or the benefit of having all audiences quickly and easily understand your communication.
-
Empathy. You must constantly put yourself in the audience’s shoes.
-
Practice. The skills are not brain surgery, but they require practice. Your brain should hurt at the end of the training!
