What’s the most valuable skill someone taught you?

Ever notice how your voice sounds different when you hear yourself on a recording? Most of us do.

You’ll hear the difference.
It can be helpful for practicing your speech and pronunciation.
Speech is a critical part of how you present and carry yourself, all of which have significant implications upon success in and out of the workplace.
