Il lunedì Conta

Mark Muir • 1 June 2025

Imagine you're lost in a bustling Italian city.

The streets twist and turn like a bowl of spaghetti, and every sign is in Italian—a language you don't speak.

Panic starts to set in.

You don't know where you are, and you're supposed to meet someone in less than an hour.

In desperation, you grab a local passerby, hoping they understand English.

No luck.

All you get are apologetic shrugs and confused looks.

So, you remember your family lifeline - your dad, who knows a bit of Italian.

You dial his number, and within minutes, you're explaining your predicament.

With his help, you manage to communicate with the local, who now understands and guides you to your destination.

But why go through all that?

Why not just use a translation app or some AI tool?

In our tech-driven world, it's easy to forget the power of direct, human connection.

But as you found out, sometimes, it's that human element that leads the way.

Especially in communication.

Think about your business communications.

Are you relying too heavily on automated emails and scripted responses?

Are you losing that personal touch?

Remember, whether it's getting directions in a foreign country or connecting with your clients, the human element should never be underestimated.

It could very well be the compass that keeps you on the right path.

Never forget: Communication leads the way.

Make sure you're doing it directly, personally, and effectively.
