Communication Skills: Change Your Life Forever

I want to learn how to speak with nothing but confidence. I'm always nervous and it makes me look like I'm lying at times. I HATE it.

These are the people who should be teaching children.

Learning to listen to "hear and understand" instead of listening to respond will help communication every time!

Definitely makes a lot of sense. I grew up in a hostile atmosphere. A lot of anger and negativity. I'm working on changing from negativity to being positive.

From now on I will speak more positively and look forward to the future instead thinking about the past.

I am going to change the way I speak to reflect my leadership qualities rather than being a victim.

“I don’t know what I think until I write it down.”

#Beautiful quote: "I don't know how to think, until I write it down." Robin Sharma. Also, when you write things down, you solidify your thoughts.

I literally have the worse communication skills ever.. I always stay quiet even when i know they are trying to be nice and just have a normal conversation i make it so awkward to the point where ppl ask me if im ok that i act weird and i cant say nothing back bc i hold back so much by the time i know w to say its pretty much late and i just end up looking dumb

I’m transforming by watching such amazing videos. Youtube is a best place to learn new skills. I hope someday I’d also get chance to contribute for the betterment of our society.

Language is everything...because not only are you speaking to the world but you’re also speaking to yourself...and influencing yourself. You’re shaping the new you every time you project your thoughts and ideas to the world.

Using the language of leadership instead of using the language of the victim stuck out to me the most. I will be working on including positive phrases and words in my vocabulary instead of negative phrases and words. Thank you for the video Evan, helps a lot.

Speaking with not only confidence but, a purpose is the most important thing I’ve learned when it comes to communication.

Communication is one key to getting what you want out of life. I also learned that I gravitate to the people I'm most like or want to be like.

"use the language of leadership" definitively is a gold one

Viewing all your uploaded videos each day was certainly lifted people..please, don't get tired helping people this way. Thanks Evan..more power!!!

I don't know what i am thinking until i write it down.

1. Listening Trying to listen to the persons' thoughts. Maybe also after he finished the talk you are still listening and trying to obserb the other persons's point of view instead of giving immadiate reactions. After a time you will realise you already started to be interested in the other person's opinion and trying to understand the other people's thoughts instead of feeling an immadiate pressure tor prove your right. If you learn how to listen carefully you will realise people start to tell a bunch of things that would not be told even if you'd asked them about. This one has brought new perspectives to me and this is on of the most powerful one. 2. Being interested in the other one We are not always interested in other's opinion. From practicing the first one you can build a constent persistent and conscious desire to understand and get to know the other person. If you are not interested in the other person it's better not start any conversation at all. 3. Being interested in the topic When you don't feel connection between the topic and yourself, your speech, mood, face, and body will transmit it. How do you expect anybody to care about something what does not interest you at all? Don't react immadiately to questions. Think a bit. How do I connect to this thing? What interesting stories do I have about it? How do I feel about it? So for example: You have to talk about an apple and after you have to talk about your favourite movie. You will feel the difference, everybody will feel the difference. Find the connection, find interesting personal touch with it. Best tradesmans are expert in this 3rd topic because they can find the most attractive perspectives from a really usual object also in order to persuade you. 4. Breaks Speak less but give more powerful thoughts. Slow down your speach insert breaks to emphasise things. Don't care if the others try to speed up the conversation. If you carry on you'll realise they will feel the pressure to slow down to you not the opposite way.

Starting a journal is the best first step to begin applying all of these techniques. There's so many thoughts in our heads, most of which aren't even our own. The thoughts in our head are not us, they're merely what happen to us. "I don't know what I am until I write it down."
