If you want to improve your speaking skills, then: 1) watch this short video 2) record yourself, and 3) upload your recording as a comment to this post for people to give you feedback! REMEMBER: if you want feedback, give feedback to one other person and ask for them to give you feedback in return. ALSO, I’d recommend recording yourself with Loom (the free plan HERE) and sharing Loom links. It’s easy to use and automatically transcribes your audio. It’s also much better than uploading video files in comments.

Want to command respect in any conversation? It all comes down to one key skill: world-class listening. Start by truly listening to understand the other person, not just waiting to speak. I'll share with you three essential tips to up your listening game. First, when someone speaks to you, pause, nod, and really take in what they're saying before responding. The crucial step? Paraphrasing. Summarize their point in one sentence and confirm if you got it right. Keep asking "Is that right?" until you nail it. Once you do, you have the green light to respond thoughtfully. For the elite level, search for the intent behind their words. Ask open-ended questions to dig deep and understand their why. When you master these steps, you'll earn respect and truly connect with others. Give it a shot and share your experience!
