The Art of Explanation

Whether it’s ideas, instructions or feelings, explaining is something that we are required to do on a daily basis. Alot of the times we know what we’re explaining… but do we think enough about how we’re explaining it? We might have an idea for a great product or invention, but if we’re not able to explain that idea, to get people excited and invested, then chances are that our plans might not succeed to it’s fullest potential. Author Lee LeFever is the founder of Common Craft, a company that's known for making complex ideas easy to understand through short animated videos. Lee talks about his book, The Art of Explanation, and why explanation is now an essential skill for professionals.
