Communication Tips for Leaders & Entrepreneurs: Cerys shares her top tips for communicating with clarity and impact:

- Always start by asking WHY - intention before action.

- Frame your message with “What do I want people to know, feel, and do?”

- Keep your message simple and accessible - could a five-year-old explain it?

- Don’t overcomplicate - simplicity creates momentum!

- Make your communication inclusive and avoid jargon.
