Ding. Breaking news. Ding. New email. Ding. Whatsapp group. Ding. New email. Ding. Whatsapp again. Ding. Another email. Ding. Ding. Ding. Studies show that we have more information in our brains than almost anyone alive hundreds of years ago processed in their lifetime. And it feels like it, doesn't it?  So we're receiving more information than ever before. And there are more ways than ever before to send it. But that doesn't mean we're any better at communicating it. That we're understanding it. Or feeling understood.  Whether we're home or at work, getting communication right is important. It's the most sought-after soft skill in the job market, but for a 'soft' skill it can be hard to master. So, what can we learn from the world's best communicators? And how can we apply it to our careers, our teams and our businesses? That's what we're exploring with Ros Atkins, BBC journalist and analysis editor, and Drew McMillan, Director of Communications and Engagement at Deloitte, in this episode of The Green Room as we ask: Can we communicate better by saying less?
