@carminemedia: Stop charging a cognitive tax on your communication. 🧠 When you use hedge words you aren't being polite, you're increasing the processing tax on your audience. In behavioral science this is called the cognitive load. The more mental energy a decision-maker has to spend deciphering your point, the less authority they attribute to your message. Clear communication isn't a soft skill. It's a power signal. By switching to concise, declarative language, you show you are a competent decision-maker. Look at your last three emails. How many hedge words do they contain? #leadershipskills #communication #careercoach #capcut #CapCut
