A seconds-scale daily micro-practice for Communication Skills (VCoL collection): When you have a point to make, express it clearly without excessive hedging. Use 'I' statements: 'I think...' 'My view is...' At the same time, leave room for others: 'And I'm curious what others think.' Practised many times a day, with a brief evening reflection, until the move becomes automatic.
