Your Voice is Powerful. Use It!
Do you use voice messages? These days it is SO hard to find time to connect with people. Schedules never align. People are always in meetings.
Yes, Slack and other messaging apps are convenient but there’s nothing like the power of your own voice to convey nuance and true meaning. And with platforms like WhatsApp, leaving voice messages is easier than ever. A well-articulated voice message can eliminate the misinterpretation that sometimes plagues text-based communication. Obviously, a phone call (remember those?) is top of the hierarchy in terms of effective communication, but we all know how hard it is to get someone on the phone these days.
