Learn to Listen Better - There's a difference between assertive and aggressive. Don’t give excuses, find solutions. Learn the difference between someone attacking your thoughts or helping you expand perceptive.
Get accustomed to feedback - The internet is not kind, nor does it apologize when it is wrong. If you work for an org or own your own business, being able to take feedback is essential to your success. In 2013 Forbes stated not being able to handle feedback is a trait of “leadership dysfunction”
Be Diverse - There are multiple ways to tell a story, don’t be stuck on one medium or what makes you comfortable. Yes, we all love video stories, However a photo/audio story can be just as compelling.
Tell a good story. - The audience are not attracted to you as much as they are attracted to a “good story”.The best writing is not about the writer, the best writing is absolutely not about the writer, it’s about us, it’s about the reader.
Dig for the nugget. - Listen and decipher from your story that one moment or quote that wil translate clearly to your audience.
Good audio is imperative - Above all, good audio is imperative …..Unless you are into silent films of course.
Know Your Strengths - Focus on your strengths while working on your weaknesses.
