Do your clients, customers, associates and peers tune you out when you are delivering financial information? There are two reasons for this. The first reason is that you are cursed. That’s right…cursed with knowledge! You can’t and don’t want to unlearn your accounting knowledge AND you have forgotten the painful struggles you went through in learning the technical aspects of accounting. The second reason is that accounting is a foreign language to those who don’t possess the same competency level as you.
