Developing your listening skills to be a more effective communicator – 120

9/26/2023
“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.” It was none other than The Dalai Lama who shared this brilliant piece of wisdom. Think about that for a moment. If you’re always doing the talking, you’re never hearing a different perspective on things. Think about conversations you’ve had with friends or colleagues at work. Are you the one who always doing the talking? How often are you fully listening to what people are saying? The ability to listen and fully listen, is an important communication skill. In today’s episode I’m speaking with a breast cancer surgeon who talks about developing your listening skills to be a more effective communicator.

Elevate your public speaking skills by stepping out of your comfort zone. Public speaking is like any other skill, the more you do it, the better you will become at it.

This means what you may have found challenging before will begin to feel easier for you. You are in your comfort zone. This means your progress will stall and you won’t continue to develop your skills further to overcome new challenges or embrace new opportunities.

Client Question – What helps to calm your nerves before speaking? – 117

8/16/2023
Have you ever stopped to think about what success looks like to you? This is a question I always ask my clients. Whether developing their confident communication skills to deliver presentations, give compelling talks, be successful at job interviews, and much more. Although they have practiced their presentation, put the finishing touches on their talk or interview prep, when it comes to the 'big day' itself, they sometimes find themselves so overwhelmed with nerves, that they forget all the good techniques they've been practising and don't feel confident. Some of my clients asked, “What can I do about this?” Well, in response to this I have created a visualisation exercise which can help. If you're preparing for an important event and feel that a little confidence boost will help, allow me to guide you through this visualisation exercise so that you feel more confident.
