[0:00] Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Confidence
[0:05] Speaker 1: on Command. You know that feeling when you're trying to
[0:08] Speaker 1: get your point across, but it feels like talking to
[0:12] Speaker 1: a brick wall. Or maybe you've had those moments where
[0:16] Speaker 1: you just completely bomb a presentation, leaving you wondering what
[0:20] Speaker 1: went wrong. Well, I'm here to tell you communication isn't
[0:25] Speaker 1: always as straightforward as we think. But don't worry, because
[0:30] Speaker 1: today we're diving into some powerful mindful communication techniques that
[0:35] Speaker 1: can transform your interactions, leaving you feeling confident and empowered
[0:39] Speaker 1: every step of the way. Ever felt like your words
[0:43] Speaker 1: are just bouncing off people. It's not always about what
[0:47] Speaker 1: you say, but also how you say it, and that's
[0:51] Speaker 1: where mindfulness comes in. Think of it as tuning into
[0:55] Speaker 1: the present moment, truly listening to others and speaking with intention.
[1:00] Speaker 1: It's about creating a space of genuine connection where everyone
[1:04] Speaker 1: feels heard and understood. Now I know what you might
[1:08] Speaker 1: be thinking. Mindfulness isn't that all about meditation and incense. Listen,
[1:15] Speaker 1: It's not just about yoga pants and candles, although those
[1:19] Speaker 1: can be nice. Mindfulness is about being fully present in
[1:23] Speaker 1: every conversation, paying attention to your own thoughts and feelings
[1:27] Speaker 1: as well as the other persons. It's a game changer
[1:31] Speaker 1: when it comes to building trust and rapport. Here are
[1:35] Speaker 1: five key takeaways that will supercharge your communication skills. One
[1:41] Speaker 1: Active listening go beyond just hearing words. This means truly
[1:46] Speaker 1: focusing on what the other person is saying, both verbally
[1:49] Speaker 1: and nonverbally. Make eye contact, nod your head, ask clarifying questions.
[1:56] Speaker 1: Show them you're genuinely engaged. Think it like being a detective,
[2:01] Speaker 1: piecing together the puzzle of their message. Two Empathy. Put
[2:06] Speaker 1: yourself in their shoes. Try to understand their perspective, even
[2:11] Speaker 1: if you don't agree with it. Remember everyone has a
[2:13] Speaker 1: unique story and experiences that shape their views. Showing empathy
[2:18] Speaker 1: can build bridges and create a sense of understanding. It's
[2:23] Speaker 1: like stepping into a different world for a moment, expanding
[2:26] Speaker 1: your own horizons. Three Speak with intention. Before you utter
[2:32] Speaker 1: a word, think about the message you want to convey.
[2:36] Speaker 1: Choose your words carefully, avoiding jargon or overly complex language
[2:41] Speaker 1: that might confuse the other person. Think of it like
[2:45] Speaker 1: crafting a beautiful piece of art. Each word counts. Four.
[2:50] Speaker 1: Body language speaks volumes your posture Facial expressions and gestures
[2:56] Speaker 1: can communicate just as much as your words and tall
[3:01] Speaker 1: maintain open body language and smile genuinely. It shows your confident, approachable,
[3:06] Speaker 1: and interested in the conversation. Think of it like a
[3:10] Speaker 1: silent conversation happening alongside the spoken words. Five Practice patience.
[3:16] Speaker 1: Not every conversation will go perfectly. Be patient with yourself
[3:21] Speaker 1: and the other person. Give them time to process their
[3:24] Speaker 1: thoughts and respond thoughtfully. Remember communication is a two way street,
[3:30] Speaker 1: and it takes time to build genuine connections. Think of
[3:35] Speaker 1: it like a dance. There are steps involved, but sometimes
[3:38] Speaker 1: you need to adjust and move with the flow. Now,
[3:42] Speaker 1: let me paint you a picture. Imagine your giving a
[3:46] Speaker 1: presentation at work. You've poured your heart into preparing, but
[3:50] Speaker 1: as you start speaking, you notice some faces looking glazed over.
[3:55] Speaker 1: You feel your confidence wavering. This is where mindful communication
[3:59] Speaker 1: can take a deep breath, focus on the energy of
[4:04] Speaker 1: the room, and make eye contact with individuals. Instead of
[4:09] Speaker 1: rushing through your slides, pause, ask questions, and encourage participation.
[4:15] Speaker 1: WHOA By actively listening to their responses and incorporating their insights,
[4:21] Speaker 1: you transform the presentation from a one way lecture into
[4:24] Speaker 1: a dynamic conversation, people feel valued, engage, and more likely
[4:31] Speaker 1: to remember what you shared. So there you have it.
[4:36] Speaker 1: Five powerful mindful communication techniques that can help you connect
[4:40] Speaker 1: with others on a deeper level, build stronger relationships, and
[4:45] Speaker 1: achieve your goals. Remember, confidence comes from knowing your communicating effectively,
[4:52] Speaker 1: leaving a positive impact on everyone you interact with. Keep
[4:56] Speaker 1: practicing these techniques, Experiment with what were works best for you,
[5:01] Speaker 1: and soon enough you'll be a communication master. Share your
