Communication skills are vital to success in chiropractic pediatrics. Communication can take many forms, such as video, speaking, phone calls, illustration, texting, email, signage, advertising, blogging, publicity and others. Doing any of these well requires good writing skills. Why? Because good writing is fundamentally good thinking that follows a logical path and is easy for someone to follow. Of course, good writing is more than logic in action. It also must touch the reader, listener or viewer emotionally. Otherwise, it won’t connect or lead to the behavior you are seeking to create.
