"Writing a memoir is the process of turning your life into art. We do this to nurture our forgotten parts, make meaning from the chaotic and silenced, and reconnect with the brilliance and strength ... and feel less alone.

When we revise our stories, we heal."

Despite the intrigue around AI, only 18% of professional communicators use it either often or all the time. Sixty-eight percent of communicators use AI at least occasionally. Growth has only inched up. Do you believe there will be a tipping point soon?

A new survey from The Conference Board in partnership with Ragan Communications sheds light.

INEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IS VERY COSTLY:

In the study below, 96% of business leaders agree that “effective communication is essential for delivering the business results expected of my team in the coming year." They report that nearly nine in ten business leaders have experienced an adverse impact of poor communication at work:

"For the average full-time knowledge worker on their team, who makes an estimated salary of $66,976, the wasted 7.47 hours each week amounts to a sunk cost of $12,506 per employee per year. You only have to multiply that by the number of employees in your company to appreciate the damage."

They also calculate lost business and lost growth. As reported, businesses and their leaders reported that they lost potential revenue due to poor communication last year:

86% value the business lost to be $10,000 or higher
60% value the business lost to be $20,000 or higher
22% value the business lost to be $50,000 or higher

YOU MJST HIRE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATORS IN ORDER TO PREVENT THESE LOSSES.
