“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Mastering communication is one of the most important building blocks for reaching your full potential. We are fortunate to have many brilliant communicators in our community and we asked some of them to share their lessons and advice below.

Lisa Mollura

My communication skills come from my love for learning languages and teaching English as a second language. It taught me how to break down complex ideas into simple, clear messages. Whether I’m talking to a non-native English speaker or explaining technical concepts, I focus on being direct and easy to understand. This skill has been super helpful in marketing and ad tech, where things can get really complicated quickly. Regardless of your background, understanding how to come across clearly is an essential skill. Read More>>

Since childhood, my power of observation allowed me to absorb the intricacies of human interaction. I would closely observe my family, friends, teachers, neighbors, family etc. etc. As an introspective individual, I honed my skills in articulating the depths of the human experience. I was always good at noticing details about people and things. With practice, I’ve become good at sharing my ideas and feelings through art. My innate sensitivity to the ebbs and flows of emotional tides granted me a unique perspective on the complexities of existence. Read More>>

“THE MAR CODE”

In my profession, I am able to network with various people in all walks of life, tax brackets, and cultures.

The MAR CODE sets the tone of a welcoming professional environment with no judgements and understanding client’s needs. After this has been established, we can communicate effectively by providing consulting and a strategy that give results to any campaign we obtain.
Listening is key with clients as their business success is priority for our team as we have monthly touch-base calls to keep the momentum for a successful launch. Read More>> 

Sifat Bhatia

I improved my communication by working closely with clients and teams as a full stack developer. At first, I gave explanations that were too vague, which caused confusion and project delays. I learned to be more clear by writing better documentation, showing design mockups, and confirming expectations before starting any work.

Because I work on both front-end and back-end, I often need to explain how one side affects the other. That taught me to simplify technical ideas without removing important details. Read More>> 

Mia Amador

For me, learning to communicate it came from showing up, day after day, on camera. When I first started creating beauty and lifestyle content, I wasn’t totally sure how to speak with confidence or keep people engaged. I knew what I wanted to say, but finding how to say it in a way that felt real, warm, and relatable took time. Read More>> 

Lauren Mullins

I developed my ability to communicate effectively through a combination of academic training and real-world experience. I earned my degree in Interpersonal Communication from the University of South Florida, where I focused on understanding how people connect, resolve conflict, and build relationships in both personal and professional settings. That foundation gave me the tools to communicate clearly, listen actively, and adapt my message to different audiences. Read More>> 

Renata Moniz

From the very first moment I began to realize that people would get into arguments for silly reasons, I started to wonder ‘why is this happening?’ – and for my surprise, one of the main issues was the struggle to communicate properly on a daily basis. You see, this highlight came into my life when I was a teenager, and after this point, I was really determined to study and have a bachelor’s degree in the Communication Area. Read More>> 

Alessandra Marconi

One of my greatest desires in life is that people develop the ability to understand one another. Therefore, the way I relate stems from a curiosity to know how someone sees the world. Disagreements and fighting made me really uncomfortable as a child. I knew from a young age that if I wanted people to get along easier (less misunderstandings, more acceptance and support) then my ability to understand different points of view was the way to succeed.  Read More>> 

Jared Haworth

I’ve always been a fairly introverted person, which probably comes as a shock to anyone who’s seen me do my P.T. Barnum routine during a tour or demonstration. My background is very technical, so I’d gone to school initially to learn how to be a video engineer and computer animator, and felt very out of sorts when the college required me to take four semesters of communications classes, including public speaking, oral interpretation, and voice and articulation. At the time, I couldn’t see the sense of those classes in pursuing a primarily solo, technical path, but they turned out to be the most valuable skills I’d developed in my time in school, and I still put them to use every day.
