But I think there are things that we can learn from people who are neurodiverse that can help to really...

connect and be better communicators, so too in the way that folks who are highly introverted communicate can help.

There is certainly no one right way to communicate.

There are better ways and worse ways, and regardless of where you are in terms of introversion, extroversion, neurodiversity,

You can communicate effectively.

Play to your strengths.

There are things that introverts do that are amazing that really help move communication forward.

People with certain types of neurodiversity in terms of the creativity or the level of detail with which they communicate can be really helpful.

We just have to find those advantages and lean into them to help.

having written some books i know you're you're writing a book you you think differently about your content you have to think about the audience you have to think about how do these pieces fit together is there a scaffolding that's needed so it's the thought process that helps but then the actual putting pen to paper fingers on keyboards when you have to make word choice when you have to think about the syntax the grammar you are more intimately involved with your content

than you are when you're just thinking about the ideas.

So I think at both levels, it's helping you hone your message.

I'm a very nervous writer.

I'm not a very nervous speaker.

I am very nervous about what I write.

but I'm a better editor than I am writer.

And that editing process really trains your brain to be ready to respond to questions, to focus information.

And so I think each of those steps, the ideation, the actual crafting, and then the editing, prepare you to communicate better.

And all of us can use different parts of this.

You don't have to write a book to be able to use those skills to speak better.
