Happy Effective Communications Month! As we kick off the month of June, it's the perfect time to focus on improving our communication skills – both personally and professionally. This holiday was established in 1992 by the International Association of Business Communicators to promote the importance of effective communication in all aspects of life. Whether it's through verbal or written means, good communication is essential for building strong relationships and achieving success. So let's embrace this month as an opportunity to brush up on our communication techniques and become even better at expressing ourselves.
