You can be articulate without being pompous. I truly don’t understand why some people are so averse to it.
Being articulate simply means being well-spoken. Expressing your thoughts clearly without seeming like a complete jack-ass. (Most of the time.)
This is especially important in the fields of business and public relations.
There just isn’t any room to come across like a spoilt teenager with no home training. If you do, you will be called out, and not in a good way.
There is a good chance what you say will end up published on someone’s blog being flogged for its ineptitude.
People will most assuredly laugh at your complete lack of social acuity and your company will take a hit.
That means absolutely no late-night half-assed empty threats because someone said something about your business that upset you. Period.
If you don’t trust yourself, or don’t fully understand the fine art of sensible bullsh*t, then hire someone to handle it for you and let her do her job.
