Hey Jonah, great post, but I suspect you might be hiding something from yourself here. Verbal communication is much harder for people than written, and has it’s own slew of failure modes (verbal speech has a lot to do with body language). I highly recommend treating them as separate issues, particularly since verbal communication is so socially significant.
Verbal communication is much harder for people than written.
Um, this is really not universally true at all. In fact, it’s possible more than 50% of people find verbal communication easier. (Although this community may contain an overrepresentation of people who find written easier.)
Oh, sure, I know that, I have a very long ways to go. What I meant to convey was that I already have a lot to work on with written communication alone :D. But I am in fact spending more time talking with people in person as well, just only have so much time in the near term...
