Free Course: Become an Explanation Specialist

Wed, 2025-11-26 16:01

We explain things constantly — at work, with friends, and in our closest relationships. Every one of us is an explainer.

But most of the time, our explanations just… happen. We fall back on habits we’ve carried for years. Some people naturally communicate with clarity. Others learned pieces of the skill in school or through experience. Many struggle. And everyone — every single one of us — can get better.

That’s where the Explainer Academy comes in.

In this free course from our friends at CommonCraft, I invite you to take a fresh look at how you communicate. You’ll see that explanation isn’t a fixed trait. It’s a skill you can sharpen. And because we explain things so often, even a small improvement can make a big difference. 🤠
