About Cardamom Addict
At its essence Confessions of a Cardamom Addict is diarisation of the edible kind.  Life inspires my food choices, and food choices inspire my life. You'll find both here.

Communicating well is more than dashing off a bunch of words…and to be honest, it’s more than pristine grammar.

Communicating well is about:
  • knowing your audiences: who they are, what they want, and how they connect to each other and to you;
  • selecting your methods: the most effective ways to get your message across, and
  • finding the words: the ones that speak to your audiences, and convey what you want and need.
Need help with engaging and effective communications?  I can help.
