Your competitive advantage is all in how you communicate.

You know how we spend years in school, then college, maybe even get fancy degrees where they teach all sorts of clever interesting stuff….. and then we dive straight into work?

On paper, you can be brilliant, but if you can't connect with people, even though you may have a wall full of diplomas, you are going to find the work environment really hard!

This is not a generational challenge as it might seem on social media. The reality is that the education system does not teach you this as part of the curriculum. As a result, most people are poor at communicating and that includes managers and leadership.

The ability to communicate isn't just a “Skill”; it’s an “Art form” unique to each person and it changes with time. It's your most powerful competitive advantage in a world drowning in noise.

We've figured out a simple way to unlock this advantage through your own self-agency.

The idea? To make The Number One Skill a “Social-Learning-Community” where everyone can benefit from.

Subscribing and spreading the word is a gift to yourself and others.

Oh, btw, this is who we are.

About us

We’ve lost count of the jobs, gigs and ventures we've experienced. Many, but not all, of these experiences sucked because of poor communication skills even of the basics. Poor leadership and management came a close second.

From startups that failed miserably to giant organizations where people are just a number, our combined working experience in different industries, roles and countries gives us an empathy and understanding of the challenges of everyday communication at work.

….. and we are still learning.
