There are so many simple and effective methods of communication in life that are available to anybody who wants to utilise them.

This holds true in both our personal and professional life — if only we know how to tap into them and make them part of our everyday regular communication repertoire.

We are defined by our relationships, and how we interact with those around us forms the core of who we are and how the rest of the world perceives us.

On this theme, one of my main passions in healthcare is how doctors communicate with patients. I believe everyone in medicine — no matter how experienced we are — needs to be constantly thinking about this and have a self-awareness of our own flaws.
