A Harvard neuroscientist has some tips to help realize this skill

There’s one skill according to Harvard neuroscientist Julianne Hahn that successful people, especially introverts, don’t always know they have.

That they are usually very clear when communicating in writing and therefore excellent in presentations and emails.

According to Khan, this is a really good quality for everyone, as long as they know how to take advantage of it.

The Harvard neuroscientist has some advice to help especially the more introverted people.

1. Find which form of communication suits you
Before you communicate an idea or a request, choose the form it will take. For example, if you are sharing research that includes complex data, then a PowerPoint that displays charts and images may be the best format.
If you are announcing project management decisions, please send a detailed email.

2. Don’t make it complicated
Simple and understandable language is the most effective way to express complex topics. Avoid confusing jargon and make sure you speak so simply that even a child would understand you.
Also if you think that some details in your presentation are unnecessary, don’t put them at all.

3. Don’t bombard your audience
Your recipients are bombarded with emails and documents all day long. So before you send anything:

Remind them why you are contacting them.
Format the email so that someone can read it on their mobile.
Don’t assume that everyone is equally aware of everything.
Essentially describe what you are saying so that no one has a question.
4. Show your work

Presenting your project to a group is essentially the most difficult but also the most important part.

For this:

Try to keep your audience on their toes and engage them in a thought process during the presentation.
Of course you can ask them their opinion and also be open to new suggestions and ideas.
Don’t forget before you send anything:

Avoid carelessness. Check for typos, grammar and make sure all numbers are correct.

Avoid unnecessary jokes and humor.

Try to be concise.

Think that every word has its own meaning and that this is the most important of all.
