 💬 Communicating in the Workplace: Talk Like a Human Our recent Kickstart workshop, led by Emily Ames, co-founder of Sonder & Tell emphasised the art of human-centered communication in both branding and business. It’s a lesson that resonates across all industries, especially as we navigate the complexities of modern work culture Emily’s key takeaways on how to communicate effectively: 🔑  Be Direct, Be Human: In a world of jargon and formality, brands and professionals should aim to communicate in a way that feels natural 📧 Emails with Impact: Clear, concise emails, free of unnecessary formalities. Friendly doesn’t mean unprofessional   💡 Empathy in Communication: Emily introduced the “Know, Feel, Do” framework, which reminds us to be intentional when crafting messages. First, think about what information you want the person to know. Then, consider how you want them to feel. Finally, be clear about what action you want them to take Communication, writing emails, and interacting with colleagues are things we often learn through experience, but our workshop is designed to give them a head start with strong foundational skills from Emily’s industry experience 🚀 Are you interested in partnering with us to nurture the next generation of creative leaders?

Whether it’s a virtual meeting or a job interview, showing up with confidence and professionalism is key. It’s about presenting yourself with certainty and composure, even when stepping outside your comfort zone 📚 Continuous Learning: Joanna inspired us to challenge limiting beliefs and set high personal standards.
