Communicast Episode 40: Clarity is Kindness

Oct 6, 2023 | Podcast

Clarity is kindness. It is so simple, yet so powerful. That’s the message from my guest, Dr. K.L. Allen, who is the Chancellor of WGU Ohio. K.L. has spent his career in higher education and has seen firsthand the impact communication skills can have on career outcomes.

In this episode we talk about providing clarity, the role preparation plays in listening, and why you should “give people their flowers.”

I hope you enjoy.
