Is October starting to buzz?
Yesss!
It seems a good time to encourage COMMUNICATORS – those we know who have good messages and are doing good things. Otherwise, by staying silent we might inadvertently allow a handful of people to hog the limelight with poor communication and even misinformation or disinformation.
Indeed, let’s talk about the communicators. Professional speakers, medical writers, science communicators, journalists, authors etc.
Specialists and generalists. Academics, researchers, regulators, policy makers, influencers. The well-known and the unsung heroes. Those with other hidden or not so hidden talents. Singers, dancers, poets, humourists, and magicians. There are many ways to share a message and work with purpose.
A message doesn’t need to be loud-voiced to resonate. Better to have messages spoken or written with purpose, meaning, and authenticity.
Here’s to the people who convey or exchange information, news, or ideas, especially those who are eloquent or skilled. Here’s to those aspiring to be great or just better communicators. Those who advocate, demonstrate, and practice continuous learning.
Let’s encourage communicators!
