This week, I had a nice realization that you can learn how to “speak better” and that it has nothing to do with knowing the words, but a lot more to do with watching how people use them better than how you did.

A nice situation was when a colleague used “it leaves a lot to be desired” instead of saying “this sucks”, which was the first time when I had this thought. Another time, a very senior team member mentioned “I have been incredibly lucky with my involvement in xyz”, which was a very humble way to say “I lead the project”.

So yeah – learning how to speak better everyday!
