This is true, and I saw it happen in my own career.

At Shell I started on the technical side, then moved into management, and later into an executive role. Each move changed what I was being paid for.

On the technical side, you're paid for what you know. You understand how things work and you can fix them when they break. If your work is good, that's usually enough.

In management, you still need the technical knowledge, but a lot of your time goes into reviewing other people's work and explaining why something should be done a certain way. You spend more of your day getting people to agree with you.

At the executive level, most of the work is done by others, and your job is to get people to say yes. That could be a client, a board, a partner or your own team. So yes, it turns into a sales job.

The technical years still matter, though. They're a big part of why people trust you when you're the one asking them to back a plan.

The important thing is to know the level you’re at so you can play the game well.

Each level rewards something different, and a lot of people struggle because they keep playing the game of the level they just left.

If you're early in your career, get very good at the technical work, but also start learning how to explain your ideas to people outside your field.

@simply_dvk3ys You look closely you see the ocean spirit helping her redirect the energy(her hand turning big and fishy). Even in this chaos, Pavi learnt the classic move of water bending(redirecting your opponents energy). This scene is goated asf.

HOW DID TOPH BEND LIKE 100 FEET OF STAIRS?! 😭 Appa literally floated to reduce the platform’s weight. Their synergy is PEAK + Sokka😮‍💨🥹❤️

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ARTICULATION AND EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS BETTER

I saw your tweet and decided to bookmark it so I could write extensively on it when I had ample time. This is lengthy, but I took my time to put it together because I wanted to give you and everyone else struggling with articulating their thoughts clear, practical ways to improve.

First, articulation is a skill you develop through deliberate practice, not a gift reserved for naturally intelligent people. You can be highly educated, well-read, and knowledgeable but still struggle to express your thoughts clearly. Sometimes, you know exactly what you mean, but the words don't come out the way you intended. The goal is to bridge that gap between thinking and expressing yourself.

Here are some things that can help.

1. READ TO UNDERSTAND, NOT JUST TO FINISH BOOKS
Pay attention to how good writers construct sentences, introduce ideas, explain complex issues, and connect their thoughts. Don't just focus on what an author is saying. Study how they communicate it, why they choose certain words, and how they make their ideas easy to understand.

2. PRACTISE EXPLAINING THINGS IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE
Choose a subject you understand and try explaining it to someone who knows nothing about it. The goal is to communicate the idea clearly without losing its meaning. The ability to simplify a complicated idea without losing its meaning is a strong sign of good articulation.

3. SPEAK ALOUD AND PRACTISE REGULARLY
Spend 10 minutes daily speaking aloud about a subject. Pick a topic, speak about it for two minutes without preparing anything beforehand, and record yourself. Listen to the recording and pay attention to whether your ideas follow a logical sequence, whether you repeat yourself unnecessarily, and whether you complete your thoughts clearly.
Don't obsess over your accent. The goal is clarity, not sounding British or American.

4. LEARN TO ORGANISE YOUR THOUGHTS
Sometimes, what appears to be a vocabulary problem is actually a thinking problem. You may have several ideas in your head but struggle to arrange them in a way that makes sense to others.
One simple structure I would like to recommend is: POINT - REASON - EXAMPLE - CONCLUSION. State what you believe, explain why you believe it, give an example, and conclude your point. This helps you communicate complete thoughts instead of jumping between unrelated ideas.

5. BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY THROUGH USAGE
Don't memorise big words just to sound intelligent. Learn words that help you express yourself more precisely.
Whenever you encounter a new word, understand its meaning, construct your own sentence with it, and practise using it in conversation or writing. This helps you move beyond merely recognising words when reading to using them naturally when communicating.

6. WRITE, THEN EDIT WHAT YOU WRITE
Writing forces you to slow down and examine your thoughts. Try writing a short paragraph daily about something you believe, observed, or learned.
After writing, ask yourself: Is my point clear? Am I repeating myself? Have I explained my reasoning? Could I communicate the same idea in fewer words?

7. STUDY PEOPLE WHO COMMUNICATE WELL
Pay attention to articulate speakers, thoughtful interviewers, and good writers. Don't merely imitate their vocabulary; study how they introduce arguments, explain their reasoning, use examples, and respond to questions.

8. STOP RUSHING TO RESPOND
You don't have to answer every question immediately. Take a moment to understand what is being asked, organise your thoughts, and identify your main point before responding.

Ultimately, Khanani, good articulation isn't about using big words or trying to sound like the most educated person in the room. It is about organising your thoughts, choosing the right words, and communicating your ideas clearly enough for others to understand exactly what you mean.

Wait, 4,500gh for every year he lost???. That's the compensation!?!

[chester-wale @chesterwale1]

A teacher was spent over 10 yrs in prison only for DNA results to prove him innocent he only got 45,000gh and his salary for those yrs he spent in custody nothing was done to both the lady and her family
Until proven guilty by a competent court the headmaster is still innocent

Dawg, I thought I understood "an attack on one is an attack on all" until I watched this scene.

[Trakas @BIG_TRAKAS]

Aang and his teachers' synergy was one of a kind. Mind you they were all teenagers.

Pavi and Nisha better be moving like this in the coming years.
