"Communication works for those who work at it." – Theologian and Author John Powell
John Powell's quote reminds us all that effective communication isn't simply a natural ability. It's a skill that requires discipline, intentionality, and continual growth. Like any habit of excellence, communication improves when we work at it. It begins long before a conversation takes place, and also with how we understand ourselves, how we lead ourselves, and how we build trust with others.
