I never realized there were so many good c-words related to career success: communication, collaboration, courage…. With confidence, you’ll be a better communicator and more effective collaborator. It means smiling, speaking articulately and assertively, looking people in the eye, and managing your physical presence.

In today’s casual world, people are becoming quite slack in their writing, set up of emails, and attention to detail.

The time has come for collaboration and open communication between all the constituencies of our workplace. I wish that we will close the wage gap.
