Best Advice From @ko.communication
"If you're trying to confirm that your message was understood, don't ask, 'Does that make sense?' People are really unlikely to admit that they don't understand something — especially in a meeting. Instead, try saying, 'Am I making sense?'
"That makes it about your ability to communicate, not their ability to understand."

Best Advice From @Loewhaley
