If you’re looking to become an effective communicator you need to understand this 👇🏼 Great communicators have learned how to win at the biggest battle of distraction. 1. They know everyone has something to say. They are clear on why someone would want to hear or read what they have to say. 2. They live by the ‘less is more’ approach. There is so much content noise, low attention spans, and high levels of busyness as it is. Great communicators don’t beat around the bush. They don’t make their audience dig for the key points either.

The most effective communicators pause before they speak and ask themselves: Why am I opening my mouth? Such a simple statement in Charles Duhigg's latest book 'Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection' but such a powerful moment to reflect on. Are you truly listening to what is being said, or are you just biding your time to respond? The most effective communicators know who they're talking to, what the conversation is really about, and are asking questions and then they are really listening to the responses to understand the other person better. My mate Jamie Woolmer is the most effective supercommunicator I have ever experienced in my career and life. He can talk to anyone, is genuinely curious about them, and asks questions while sharing his own stories in such a smooth and fluid way. Everyone remembers Jamie because he makes them feel heard and seen. I have seen him in operation doing this with CEO's all the way to someone living on the streets. He treats them the same, regardless of their 'standing' in life, now that's true empathy at work. We could all learn a lot from Jamie, just don't ask him to do paperwork! (I didn't say he was perfect at everything 😂) Stay Awesome & Stay Kind 🙏

📢 **Be a Super Communicator !** 🤝 I had the pleasure of having a fantastic lunch meeting with Rosina Slisko , Michelle Lalonde-Perreault and Lisa Sabo today. It was truly a great opportunity to connect and get to know each other better. During our conversation, we delved into the topic of improving general communication skills. Michelle introduced us to the concept of "super communicators," which immediately caught my attention. Intrigued by this idea, I couldn't resist doing some research on the topic. After diving deeper into the concept, I must say it's truly fascinating. Super communicators possess exceptional skills that allow them to effectively convey their thoughts and ideas. They have a knack for connecting with others on a deeper level and leaving a lasting impact. In a world where people often hold back and worry about bothering others, we need more super communicators. These individuals have the power to bridge gaps, foster understanding, and create meaningful connections. So, I ask you: Do you consider yourself a good communicator or even a super communicator? Let's strive to become better communicators and make a positive difference in our personal and professional lives. #SuperCommunicator #EffectiveCommunication #ConnectingPeople Check out this great video that explains How to be a Supercommunicator with Pulitzer-prize winner and author of the transformative "Power of Habit", Charles Duhigg joins me to talk about his latest book. Supercommunicators is an exploration of the skills that allow a few of us to build authentic connection with almost anyone, all by just having conversations. He looks at the stories of some remarkable communicators, and the science behind what they do. Charles also reveals the techniques that any of us can practice to become supercommunicators ourselves. https://lnkd.in/gp4wM5Pt Thanks Michelle for sharing, amazing gold nuggets of information.

In my job, I hear people tell me they hate presenting all the time. For some it's the fear of going blank in an internal townhall; For others it's the dread of the heart-racing thumps in their chest as they stand to pitch to a customer; And for those who'll admit it, it's the fear of seeing a conference audience looking bored to tears as they take them through slide after underwhelming slide. But hating something doesn't make it go away. There is no escaping presenting - at almost every level of corporate life it's a communications skillset that is becoming more and more important and valued. So, at this time of new year's resolutions and goal-setting, why not make this one: I will overcome my public speaking fears, ditch my bad presentation habits and become a confident, impactful and authentic communicator.

Here are 4 key elements for effective communication: 📌 Clarity 📌 Emotional connection, 📌 Bringing value, 📌 Inspiring trust, We often spend time crafting what we want to talk about and forget what's more important: "how to" Decision makers are a target to all sort of communications on a daily basis. ✔️ Understanding how your words are impacting their emotions is critical. How you can push your message in a warm and personal way. This lays the foundation for a constructive exchange. A two way communication, rather than just putting information out there. Allowing people the space and time to process the information, gather their own thoughts, and engage. ✔️ Coming in to the conversation with value so it is perceived meaninful and good time investment. What we've been taught is the past is how to assert ourselves, handle objections, and educate the audience However, what we should learn to do more is Listening. ✔️ Dig deeper and understanding what lies beneath the surface. Be more comfortable asking questions so we can truly comprehend the real problem and contribute meaningfully to the conversation. ✔️ Don't be afraid of silence. Don't rush out to fill the void, give space for thoughts to crystallize and conversations to take a more profound and meaningful direction. 👉 I came across this formula and it is impressive: spend 70% of the time actively listening and only 30% of the time speaking. A great balance for genuine understanding that paves the way for productive conversations. 🤜🤛
