## Resource

In a world full of words, the people who communicate with clarity, humanity and story will stand out. In the fifth and final episode of this special series, Helen and Aneesh Rahman close out Open to Work with the last of the five Cs, communication, and why it might be the skill that ties everything together. From Martin Luther King to Pixar to the pressure of a TED Talk, this is a conversation about why great communication has never been more human, and what you can do to make yours more so. 🎯 What You'll Learn – Why AI making generic communication universally available raises (not lowers) the value of human storytelling – Why the most important story you'll ever tell is the story of yourself – How clarity fits into communication, and why speaking simply doesn't mean thinking simply – Two practical things you can do right now to make your next presentation more human: add a story or make an analogy – Why the future of communication comes down to four words: speak human, be human 📚 Resources Mentioned Open to Work: Aneesh Rahman and Ryan Roslansky For questions about Squiggly Careers or to share feedback, please email: helenandsarah@squigglycareers.com Need some more squiggly career support? 1.
