In 2022, it is very easy to miss the forest for the trees. We are in the recovery from a pandemic (fingers crossed) and people everywhere are thinking about remote work stations, setting up cameras with the perfect lighting so they don’t look like they just rolled out of bed (they did), or organising their […]
A business stands and falls on its communication. Of course, that’s true for the way that you communicate with your clients. But it also is true for your internal communications.
