hey this is stefan from
projectlifemastery.com and today i'm
gonna share with you guys three ways for
you to improve your communication skills
now for me back when I was in high
school I used to be painfully shy I was
the shy quiet kid didn't have her many
friends most people didn't even know
that I existed to be honest because I
would just sit in the corner I'd try to
avoid all the different social scenarios
out there because often times when I be
with a group of people I'd be the quiet
awkward kid and you know sure enough
other people would tease me or make fun
of me because when other people sense
that you're weak they look at you as a
target by them making fun of you and
teasing you and making jokes oftentimes
it elevates their status and makes them
seem cool or funny or popular by
bringing you down so for me this created
a lot of pain in my life this created a
lot of suffering and at that stage of my
life I I finally hit a threshold I
finally decided when I was 17 years old
that I have to change this area in my
life I have to learn how I can
communicate with people because most of
what I wanted in my life involved
communication I mean at that stage of my
life I wanted friends I wanted to be
all requires communication skills but
also communication is what's going to
allow you to be able to make more money
and change other aspects of your life as
well
and so for me I did a lot to immerse
myself to improve this area of my life
and I eventually did and I started
coaching and helping other people with
this but one thing I noticed in common
with all great communicators oftentimes
people they focus on what someone's
saying they're worried too much about
the words and how they articulate
themselves for me that's not what makes
a really great communicator I look at
communication all great communicators
have an incredible level of confidence
and comfort a confidence in who they are
a confidence and how they communicate
and what they say oftentimes great
communicators aren't necessarily that
the person that is the one that's the
life of the party and always you know
the one that's talking the most I think
that's a big misconception that a lot of
people have they think that I have to be
more talkative but oftentimes a great
communicator could be someone that
doesn't feel that need to always be
talking to dominate the conversations
because they're comfortable within
selves to just kind of lay back and
listen observe and make comments here
and there there's many different styles
of communication I think it's important
to understand that don't think that you
have to be that most talkative personnel
there because oftentimes that person
that is trying to be the life of the
party and showing off and trying to make
everyone laugh and you might look at
them as being very charismatic for me
what I see is someone often times it can
be very insecure you know oftentimes
that person's doing things like that in
order to make themselves to be more
popular or cool or you know show off to
other people but oftentimes it can stem
from insecurity so understand first and
foremost there's many different ways and
styles of communication I think it's
important to be able to cultivate all
these different styles within yourself
whether it's the ability to go in an
environment and be the more talkative
person maybe just stand up in front of a
stage and audience or in front of a
camera and be able to communicate
effectively to maybe different social
scenarios where you're the person that's
actually making other people feel better
about themselves by giving them the
space to communicate and talk more and
norm or the listener you're more the
passive one in that situation because
besides confidence having that that
congruence I think great communicators
what makes them great is they make other
people that they're communicating with
feel good feel empowered feel feel
comfortable and I don't know if you've
ever been in a scenario before with
someone it's a pet peeve of mine when
you're talking to someone and they're
just dominating the conversation they
don't even give you room to say anything
you know it's all about them it's a
ninety nine ninety five percent
conversation then five or ten percent
you and then oftentimes you get
frustrated by that because that's some
of us just talk and talk and talk and
talking they're actually not having any
regard for you that's not effective
communication again effective
communication I think that both people
involved or everybody involved
it feels good there's a level of
connection a level of rapport that's
accomplished where you know you know
people like you they like communicating
with you
so I think that's one of the most
important goals of communicating is
learning how to make other people like
you that might be in some say
scenarios being more talkative one it
might be in some scenarios letting the
other person talk and then you just
trying to make them feel good by
listening to them or acknowledging them
you know and empowering them in that way
so when it comes to a few different ways
I think a few different things I want to
share with you guys is first is the
confidence piece because often the
greatest communicators again it's not
they're not saying the perfect words and
the perfect times or not you know
sometimes they say elmora or you know or
they have things like that but what
makes them unique is they have that
confidence that comfort within
themselves they have congruence
congruence is when what they say and
what they believe is aligned so when
they say something you can feel it you
can sense it you can feel the energy in
what they're saying there's a level of
congruence there and I think a big part
of that confidence comes from competence
you know for me when I was shy what I
had to do did really improve this area
of my life is I had to put myself in
tons of social scenarios because part of
the reason why my communication skills
were lacking is because I didn't
communicate you know I'd spend all day
all night in front of the computer and
you know I had to reverse that I had to
start doing the opposite where I got rid
of all the video games all the things
that I was doing there I spent all this
time out in the real world around
friends and going in for meetup groups
and events and things of that nature and
the reality and the truth is I was
painfully shy nervous and anxiety I had
a lot of fear but I reframed that I
think there's a different way you got to
look at that fear that anxiety that you
have oftentimes will feel that and they
shy away even more but I actually view
if you're not feeling that anxiety that
fear then that's a sign that you're not
growing
I woke them I embrace that because when
I feel that discomfort I know that this
is an opportunity for me to overcome it
you know I remember I would I would
purposely find scenarios that would make
me uncomfortable that would make me shy
that would make me anxious that would
make me insecure and I'd put myself in
those scenarios on purpose to force
myself to learn how to be
comfortable with them I would do it
again and again and again and again I
remember I used to go to nightclubs by
myself in some scenarios a Friday
Saturday night I you know go by myself
no alcohol whatsoever and I'd be
oftentimes at first the guy that's is
standing around with the glass of water
feeling awkward feeling stupid feeling
silly look at everyone else having fun
and I used to get so caught up in my
head but then by doing that enough times
I would force myself to talk to people I
forced myself you know before I went out
to the bar the club that put myself in a
great state to talk to the doorman to
talk to the host to talk to people there
and learn how to eventually be
comfortable in that said that's it that
situation because I knew if I could get
comfortable in that situation where one
of the most difficult and challenging
situations out there where as loud music
there's flashing lights everyone's drunk
and it's chaotic if I can get
comfortable and confident there then how
much more confident and comfortable
would I be when I'm at the bar or the
club with my friends how much more
confident comfortable would I be if I'm
at a coffee shop or I'm at a party I
mean once you've been push yourself to
those difficult scenarios everything
else becomes easy so that's how I look
at things and that's how you develop
that confidence is putting yourself in
those scenarios where it is
uncomfortable it is challenging it does
make you feel weird and awkward and
trust me you're gonna have many times
where you're gonna say the weird thing
the awkward thing you're gonna laugh at
you they're gonna make fun of you
they're gonna reject you all right those
are all things you're gonna have to go
through but understand whenever that
happens that's a gift that's a challenge
for you to grow become more welcome and
embrace that because that's how you're
gonna really develop that confidence and
be able to be that kind of person that
can communicate in any different
environment out there so confidence is
number one that's the most important
thing I'd say the next way that you can
really improve your communication skills
is understand that most of communication
is not your words again there's actually
a study that was done that said that 93
percent of all communication is not the
words but it's your voice and your body
language
and only 7% are the words so if you have
the spectrum here a lot of people what
do they focus on the words what am I
gonna say they worry they think about
that so much but the reality is it's not
that important it's not what you say is
how you say it okay very important you
can use the same words two people could
say the same things but it will come
across totally different people respond
totally different based on how you say
it so how you say it is very important
that's what you have to really cultivate
the most and cultivating their
confidence as I mentioned but also your
nonverbal communication because in any
communication between anybody two people
or a group there's the words there's a
surface level but there's also sub
communication there's a deeper level of
communications going on that most people
aren't even aware of that are
influencing them that comes down to the
eye contact okay oftentimes great
communicators people that you know
people other people respect they respond
to you they communicate their confidence
based on their eye contact right making
sure you have eye contact with the
people that you're committed
communicating with you know if you're
talking to somebody and you're looking
away or you're acting aloof again that's
actually hurting the communication
because it's not making the other person
feel good in any way right but when you
actually look at someone and you
communicate that way when you're
speaking and you're making eye contact
it shows confidence and and congruence
and what you're saying but also when
someone's speaking back to you and
you're also giving them eye contact
you're showing acknowledgement you're
listening you're paying attention to
them which everybody wants to feel
significant they want to feel important
right if you've ever been in a
conversation with someone you're talking
and they're even looking at you it's
like you know is this are you even
important enough for this person to
communicate with you know so that's
going to come across in a negative way I
contact their body language how you
stand shoulders up how you project your
voice projecting with a loud clear
resonant voice projecting from your
diaphragm not up here in your chest
learning how to project what you're
saying using gestures and body language
you know when you're speak
and you you know make a point or use
your hands that's gonna engage people a
lot more your facial expression smiling
your eyes all the different muscles in
your face using them when you
communicate you know turning towards the
person how you position your body all of
these things are incredibly important
when you are communicating with the
other person so learning how to really
be comfortable in communicating
oftentimes when you're confident you
know often the body language kind of
manifests itself because you know when
you're confident you naturally make eye
contact you naturally speak loud and and
comfortable comfortably with ease and so
that's why I think confidence is one of
the more important pieces so understand
it's not what you say it's how you say
it focus on your body language be aware
of that you know obviously be aware of
your breath when you communicate even
how you dress communicate something as
well you know often communication again
it's not just what you say but it's the
nonverbal people are picking up they're
judging you constantly whether we like
it or not based on how we look how we
stand how we move how we communicate and
so making sure you're dressed well
you're well groomed all those things are
going to make a difference and how other
people respond to you and the last piece
I want to share is really learning how
to listen and really hear me now really
listen to what I just said cuz I know a
lot of you up there saying yeah yeah I
already know that I already know that I
should listen more but I want you to
hear the deeper message the deeper
meaning of this of what it really means
to listen listen does not just mean that
the other person is talking and you're
just there you know taking in what
they're saying while you're working on
your computer or while you're thinking
about something else that's not
listening real listening is when you're
truly present with the person that
you're communicating with when not only
you're just looking at them but you're
feeling them you're sensing them you're
actually paying attention you're not off
somewhere else in your head you're not
up here micromanaging and thinking about
what you're gonna say next
they're not up here judging them on this
or that or thinking about what else you
have to do that's not listening other
people on a very subtle level they can
sense your
presence they can sense right now when
I'm talking you guys right now I'm not
thinking about anything else up here I'm
just letting everything flow as I'm
speaking for the camera if I'm up here
in my head I'm not gonna be present with
you guys you guys will sense and feel it
so I'm just trusting I just communicate
whatever first thing that pops up I
communicate I say it and learning how to
get out of your head is such an
important skill learning how to just be
present when someone else is speaking
you listen to them you acknowledge them
you give them your your mind your
attention you're not focused on anything
else or doing anything else if you can
do that then the other person will feel
a deeper level of connection with you
unlike most because very few people are
willing to give that level of presence
so when you communicate with people give
them that gift give them that gift of
your presence of your attention if you
catch yourself in your head bring
yourself out of it really listen to what
that person is saying but also what
they're feeling what they're
experiencing you know often you know I
try to encourage people to talk more
when I communicate with people
oftentimes when I'm in for the camera or
speaking on public yeah I'm the one
that's most talkative person but often
in my everyday life I'm more the person
that is just listening to other people I
think listening is where the most
important skills you don't always have
to be the one that's talking learning
how to listen to others but also showing
an interest having a curiosity you know
asking them questions because oftentimes
when you ask other person questions or
give them that presence they're gonna
really appreciate that you know they're
gonna really thank you for it it's gonna
make them feel good you know the best
thing that everybody likes to talk about
is themselves and so when you encourage
someone else to talk about themselves
and you ask them questions it shows that
you're paying attention it shows that
you're listening to what they're saying
and so I think that's one of the most
important things that you can do rather
than just being the person that just
tries to dominate every conversation and
be the one that you know makes you look
or sound good or popular in front of
everybody else but nobody enjoys
interacting with you because you're not
giving them the room to speak I think by
everybody if we could just listen more
be more present with one another
ask questions be curious be interested
then I think that's you know a winning
formula for successful communicate
successful communicators in this world
so listen guys hopefully you guys
enjoyed these three different ways to
improve your communication skills it
does take practice it does take pushing
your comfort zone
it does take putting yourself in those
scenarios to consistently meet people
and interact with them and again I'm
gonna have to go through that that
period that FEA is where it is gonna be
challenging it is gonna be hard but if
you can push past that then that's
what's gonna really allow you to have
that confidence that when you do
communicate it's gonna be that much more
effective so listen guys thank you so
