The Ability to Explain Complex Things Simply Will Set You Apart

Anyone can make a simple thing sound complicated. The real skill is doing the opposite. When you explain a complex topic in plain language, you prove that you actually understand it -- and you make everyone around you smarter in the process. Drop the jargon, use analogies, and check whether your listener follows before moving on. This one ability will serve you in every meeting, every presentation, and every difficult conversation.
