Recently I ran across a blog post from Brian Kelley, a colleague in the SQL Server world. He noted that one of the things that makes him a better professional in his business is being able to communicate well.
I agree, and it’s one of those things I mention in my branding presentation, but don’t emphasize. Whether you blog, speak, or communicate in any way, poor communication skills stand out. Great communication skills just flow, and let people understand your message easily.
I have a few ideas for you to improve your skills.
- 15 Grammar Goofs (from Brian’s post)
- Improve your writing skills
- Improving your spelling
- Proofreading
Bookmark these links and then periodically take a few minutes and learn to improve your skills.
One other resource I’ll recommend as a place I ask questions or learn from the pros is English.stackexchange.com. I suspect there are exchanges for other languages as well (like Spanish).
