2. You can’t explain something you don’t understand and you don’t understand something you can’t explain.
3. Honesty is a communication hack because people so rarely hear it.
4. Use the words your audience uses.
5. The main character in any story is the person you tell it to.
6. Assume you’ll be misunderstood.
7. If someone doesn’t understand you, it’s not their fault — it’s yours.
8. The point of an argument isn’t to win.
9. You can hear everyone’s ideas, but you can’t listen to everyone’s ideas.
10. Get as comfortable saying no as you are saying yes.
11. Don’t ask questions you don’t want answered.
12. The one who asks the best questions wins.
13. Before you tell someone they’re wrong, tell them they might be right.
14. Stating an opinion as a fact doesn’t make it one.
15. The ability to communicate ideas doesn’t necessarily make them good, but it enables you to find out if they are.
