Hello, Molly here with practical tips and more to help you Say It Skillfully, especially in challenging circumstances.

June's edition of The Solution newsletter includes a user submitted question about giving unsolicited (but much needed) feedback, a cheatsheet on genuinely gaining trust, and a communication tip from top PR professional Mariana Sanz.

You value your team members’ input and want them to feel valued. How best to communicate when your decision is different than most think is the way to go?

Often I'm told, "Hang on, I'm writing down what you said." My communication cheatsheet saves you that effort!

One of the top PR professionals in all of Latin America, Mariana Sanz, joined me for a conversation on the Say It Skillfully podcast.

She offered a tip that her team hears often: "Be simple, to the point, and keep it to a few messages. We want to be very elegant in our language and explain things in a very thorough way, but end up being too complex."

A simple yet immensely effective tip that can change how others receive the information you are sharing.

Check out my full conversation with Maria here to hear more about her journey, including her rise to the top at Edelman, her personal growth journey, and more communication tips.
