This episode is about how to create clarity in communication, whether it's for ourselves or for others. Kevin stresses the importance of clarity for building confidence, setting direction, and increasing productivity and momentum. He provides four pieces of advice for creating clarity: (1) be clear yourself before creating clarity for others, (2) communicate more clearly by picking your words carefully and ensuring that the other person has understood your message, (3) clarify your intention to avoid confusion and misinterpretation, and (4) repeat without being repetitious to connect the dots and reinforce the message. The speaker suggests that creating greater clarity in expectations, direction, and boundaries can be the most important skill for a leader.
