How To Take Action

I would start by working on how you talk with people. To be liked and to do well at work, you need to be good at talking to others. In jobs like sales, marketing, and being a boss, talking well is very important. So, good talking is work you should do first because it's worth a lot for your business.

Here's what to do:

• Practice speaking nicely to everyone. Pay attention to their names and facts about them. This makes people feel special and they'll like you more.
• Read books or watch videos on how to talk well. They can teach you how to explain things clearly and make good conversations.
• Join groups or classes where you can practice talking. This helps you get better and meet new people.
• Listen more than you talk. When you do listen, try to really understand what the other person means. They'll feel heard and like you for it.
• Remember, every time you talk to someone, it's a chance to get better. So, even small talks can be important practice.

Keep working at it and you can make talking one of your super skills!
