Important!!!
It's a cliche to say "read the room," but there's a lot of wisdom in doing exactly that. When you communicate with people, you have to make sure what you're saying resonates with them. And if you don't consider your audience you'll just be talking past them. What I'd add to that is that it's important to encourage people to question you. Sometimes how you respond will be the most important part of the conversation.

Good point!
Along these same lines, structure matters a ton too. Don't bury the lede. Most people have minimal attention spans, and you don't want them to grow disengaged before you've been able to make your point. Lead with it.

100%! My boss is a prime example of this. He will explain things one way for everyone and then get irritated that some understand and some don't. Which in turn makes those that don't understand feel awful. When actually if he understood his employees and tailored the training to how they work then he would have a much different outcome!
