Einstein is credited as saying, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” That’s good advice for any industry
Have you ever gone to a conference and heard someone speak for an hour only to get up from your seat, walk out of the room, and ask yourself, "What was that talk about again?"

As a leader in the mortgage industry, do you have think about the way you address your people? Do you think about the words you say or the illustrations you use to get your point across?

Einstein is credited as saying, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." And I just think that's so true.

If you can't say it clearly, don't say anything at all.
