Welcome to my Blog! And today another topic that I want to share with you. The hacks how to improve your communication skills.
Last time, I talked about the best investments that could change your life forever. And the first thing I have mention was investing in communication skills.
Some people might say na maybe because others had it already, or pinanganak na silang walang hiya. Just kidding!
I mean, na taglay na talaga nila yung ugali ng pagiging confident na magsalita in front of people.
It’s just amazing na panoorin kung paano sila magsalita, their gestures, at talagang naipararating nila yung message na gusto nilang sabihin.
Somehow, alam mo ba na it can be learned? Maari mo rin matutunan kung paano makipag communicate with others.
But you will also need courage and consistency with your personal practice. To be able na ma- overcome mo yung pagiging mahiyain mo at ma- boost din yung confidence mo.
So let’s dive into 10 hacks on how to improve your communication skills and become a great communicator.
#1 Make A List Of Topics That You Love To Speak About
Make a list ng topic na gustong gusto mo pag usapan. Instead na isipin mo lang sya bakit hindi mo sya isulat?
It is connected with your passion, ano ba yung bagay na gusto mong gawin? So write it down and make a list.
Halimbawa, you love to speak entrepreneurship, digital marketing, freelancing, building a business online, and so on. So start to make a list of topics that you love to speak about.
#2 Pick Up Patterns From Fluent Communicators
Make a list ng mga speakers or communicators na kilala mo or maaring pina- follow mo pa nga sila sa social media.
Rather than consuming their content, observe the patterns of how they communicate.
Tignan mo kung paano sila magsalita on cam, their gestures, body language, what kind of words they are using, what kind of expression do they have.
When you understand the patterns in how they communicate, you can start to model that.
#3 Record One Video Per Day For 90 Days
Maybe this is one of the tough ones. Pero kapag ginawa mo ito for 90 days 1 video per day consistently,
I guarantee you that you will become a better communicator than anybody else. So when you do this habit of speaking in front of the camera kahit wala kang audience even with your mobile phone will help you to improve your communication skills.
And also can have a direct impact on your public speaking skills. And I do believe most of the vloggers na napapanood natin sa youtube had practiced more and more na magsalita sa harap ng camera.
#4 Don’t Worry About Perfection
Don’t worry about being perfect. It does not matter if some words na hindi mo na- pronounce ng tama.
If you mumble or fumble just go on with what you are talking about. Focus on what message you want to deliver to your audience.
Forget about what other people think about you. Isipin mo na you are speaking to your best friend, for only one person.
That’s how you’ll able to connect much deeper level. Imagine that your camera is your best friend.
#5 Create Content In Your Language
Same as what I am doing right now. Gumagawa ako ng contents gaya nito blogs and vlogs in a Taglish language.
Because gusto ko na mas maintindihan ng mga pilipino kung ano yung content na gusto ko i- share. It is easy for me na makipagcommunicate sa language na comfortable ako.
And my mission is to help my countrymen, mga kababayan to build their business online and to help them by sharing my knowledge and skills of how I become successful sa business na ito.
So creating content in your language will also help you to improve your communication skills.
#6 Understand Frameworks
There are different communication frameworks na dapat mong maintindihan at matutunanan.
Kung mapapansin mo kapag nanonood ka ng vlog ng taong pina- follow mo let’s say sa youtube.
Merong intro about their channel, comes with introducing their self, then magsisimula na sila sa topic na gusto nilang pag usapan.
About the problem⇒ solution⇒ call to action. So every content may may iba ibang kinds of framework that you need to learn.
You can look to other people’s video frameworks and learn from them.
#7 Absorb Yourself In Your Mentors Content
You can learn from any mentors or influential people like Tony Robins, Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Nick Vujicic, and Francis J. Kong dito sa Pilipinas
Or pwede ka pumili sa mga mentors na pina- follow mo na sa tingin mo ay pinakamagaling makipagcommunicate.
Keep watching their videos and listen to their words ng paulit ulit para ma- absorb mo talaga kung paano sila magsalita.
And start to model them not to copy them. And once you absorb yourself in their content, it gives you the energy and inspires you na maging isang magaling na communicator din.
#8 Speak With Eyes Closed – Podcasting
Did you try to speak with your eyes closed? And I think you can express more what’s on your heart.
Mas deep yung level na maiparating mo yung message na gusto mo ideliver kung nakapikit ang mata mo.
You can try and see it for yourself on Podcasting. If familiar ka sa Podcast, wherein you can just listen to audios. I think this is a better practice on how to improve your communication skills.
#9 Improve Your Vocabulary
You can improve your vocabulary just by watching others. It should be easy and simple to understand.
It does not matter kung hindi ka magaling sa English, ang importante nadeliver mo yung message mo ng maayos at klaro.
So pick up your words, your vocabulary, make it simple and easy, so people can relate and understand you in a better way.
#10 If You Feel Nervous, Think About Service
Bakit nga ba tayo kinakabahan bago pa tayo magsalita? That’s because of self-consciousness.
Kapag iniisip natin yung sasabihin or opinyon ng ibang tao kaya tayo nakakaramdam ng nerbiyos.
So whenever you feel nervous think about the service or value na maibibigay mo sa mga tao. Think about kung paano ka makakatulong and how you can impact their lives.
These are the 10 hacks on how to improve your communication skills. I hope after na mabasa mo ito ay magtake ka ng action kung talagang seryoso ka na ma- improve ang pakikipagcommunicate mo sa ibang tao.
