1- Assertiveness 2- Authenticity 3- Open mindedness 4- Empathy 5- Clarity 6- Listening

I have an immense amount of communication problems . I have always been the quiet person and very self preserved because I never had a lot of friends and was never open about my feelings and I've gotten used to it and comfortable with it . Now I'm at a point in my life where I need to speak to people to gain friendships and relationships and enjoy meeting new people and follow my dreams. Sometimes I would communicate with a friend and wouldn't text or call in days or even weeks . Not because I don't want to, sometimes because I don't feel I'm interesting enough or have anything to add to conversations to make it fun and then I lose interest. I seem to judge my personality a lot as well when it comes to people while i try to hang out and I'm so tired of it. I just want to be free and confident :/

Leo, I cant tell you how much you have helped me to better myself. I love your honesty. I am a great fan of yours.

Our professor showed us this video in January. She was so excited you replied to her email and allowed her to show this to us. I was so happy to see this because I had already watched some of your other videos prior. You're inspiring and brilliant! Thank you :)

Your talks are so deep that I have to think about it for so long to absorb. I love them though. You have a great mind, you see everything so clearly wish I had known you earlier

1. Assertiveness • A lot of people communicate things but they don't get what they want because they are not assertive ○ You can't let other people impose their agenda on you, you have to be confident in your delivery. ○ You have to be insistent & persistent § Meakness only holds you back 2. Authenticity • You have to be true to yourslef, unlike most people who hold back. ○ You have to be clear about your own values you have to know what your boundaries are. ○ You have to have to courage to go after what you want. ○ In some situations holding back is fine but NOT in the long run because of the inauthenticity. ○ He/she is ultimately unfulfilled. 3. Open-mindedness • You have to be willing to consider other perspectives and and alternative scenarios and ideas. ○ Let's not judge and crtisize lest we build a wall impeding communication. ○ If your always closed people will NOT want to comincate with you. § People like to communicate with people who listen. ○ If you are closed you will stunt your growth as a human bean 4. Empathy • One must see the pain of others (mirror neurons), we need to experience the emotions of others as if we're in that situation. ○ People want to feel heard. Empathy creates a common ground. ○ Creates cooperative dynamic. ○ If you do NOT have empathy towards others you create a gulf of separation. 5. Clarity • Communication is not what you meant to say but it's what the other person received. ○ A lot of times what we say is heard errounously by others. ○ Clarity is NOT ambiguous, abstract, inaccurate, or "losey goesy" ○ If people are misperceiveing what you say it might not be their fault but yours. 6. Listening • Communication is a two way street, one must fulfill their own part for successful communication. • You have to be active! ○ Ask questions, respond with "oh", "why", "ah"

Thank you for your video..I've been having a lot of struggles communicating and your words have made things a little more clearer for me..and I noticed that my two biggest struggles with communication is listening and showing empathy that the people in my life deserve.. your video was extremely helpful and I thank you from everyone who finds themselves struggling..

Wow Leo, I really had a misunderstanding about communication that you brought up at the end of the video. I tacitly supposed that being an effective communicator would come naturally with time and attention, but I now realize that effective communication is a learned skill that requires work and practice. Thank you.

Oh my GOD, this was so eye-opening! I never realised I was a very bad communicator. I believe I'm incredibly authentic, which means that I will say whatever I think without paying attention to how I articulate myself. Then I get upset when people have their own interpretations. Luckily I'm a good listener, but I was always stubborn when people commented on how my words come across (sometimes pretty rude and arrogant, even though that's not how I feel). Now I understand that I can change my vocabulary and adapt it to my interlocutor without giving up my authenticity. Even better now, my communication will be truly authentic because I get my point across, mostly without distorting it.

As a Communication student, this is a really big help to me on improving how I communicate with others. I am a talkative person but sometimes, I am just good in talking and not communicating. I always say what is on my mind and I don't open my mind to other's opinions sometimes. I will do my best to change these and try to follow your advise. Thank you :)

I am so grateful I stumbled across Leo's lectures in a time in my life when I needed it the most. The tutorials "why he cheated " impacted me in ways that where really hard to swallow, but I have a better understanding on the different dynamics that are at play. I love my life coach. "

This is a perfect introductory video for my Health classes as we enter the unit on healthy communication! I teach at a school for kids with various learning differences in Portland, OR. I'm so happy to have found this video! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing and helping with care. I can see you have done your homework. So far I can truly say I feel better than I did, in part, from listening to your craft at being a coach of sorts. Folks may know a lot of answers, but delivery is crucial in order to have clarity. Nice job Leo. I believe I understand your way of communication. In fact I also feel like you make it very simple to understand your point. Double thanks!!

Yes i like all your points. 1.Assertive 2. Authencity 3. Open mindness 4. Empathy 5. Clarity 6. Listening . It's a catch 22 situation when your gut feeling is different that of the other. Here open mindness has to be dealt with caution. Sometimes emotions are not important to the situation and one needs a tough stand when other insist on soft stand harming the matter. Situations in life are unpredictable.

In my journey to learn game I came face to face with this wall called communication. My lack of everything made my journey 10 times harder, every time something different happens and I have to fix something. Well nobody said it would be easy I think that's what makes it worth doing. Thanks for the great video!!!!

Hi leo, great video and well articulated points towards improving communication skills. I can relate to what your saying here more than anyone else. I have struggled with my communication all my life because of a chronic stutter and felt that this was actually ruining my chances in life. However I'm making improvements everyday and working on it constantly. keep up the good work!!

Listening to the other person is the most important

Thank you Leo - Your VDO can really help me come through this hard time.

man I just came across your channel and I'm sure you get this constantly but you speak to my soul did a quick run through on the titles of you're videos and I'm not sure I have enough time in the world it's all things I've always wanted help with and never knew how to ask never had anyone willing to dedicate the time to explain it to me I've been keeping myself in very intense situations relationships and friendships not because I'm stupid just because I didn't know videos like this existed absolutely phenomenal human!!!!!😄😄😄😄😄

Well, lemme work on my communication here, for i feel anxious just to write this haha Leo, I`ve been following you for a while, and I just want to say that, as I grow more and more spiritually, I admire you more and more! You are an amazing guy, and your knowledge and understanding are out of this world! You helped me a lot through my awakening process, and you are still doing it! You are one of my safe heavens, whenever I feel lost in my mind! Thank you very much for spreading free content around! Your videos always seems to find me when I need them the most!

I love how you communicate. Thank you for the straight talk.

I was always told that I was and still am a good listener, so many times that I've even started to consider that maybe that was the reason I couldn't hold together any friendships or relationships, but now I'm starting to see that maybe I was used for this ability of mine just until the other person has managed to get their life in order so they wouldn't need me anymore. Now instead of hating my ability to listen, I'm starting to think that I have to work on the other aspects of my personality. Thank you for this video.

I am thankful I came aross this! I have been struggling in communicating with my wife in one area. After listening to this, I learned I lack effective communication in a few areas. Now that I know better I will do better.

Hey Leo, your videos are again and again very inspiring and helpful to me! Big thanks for your work and helping people to become better versions of themselves!

This was excellent! Thank you so much! My professor used your video for our class- so glad!

Very generous of you to share such valuable information, you are truly giving a lot of folks hope again who may have lost their way. You are doing such a great service for others by sharing this valuable information. I have spent thousands of dollars on seminars that weren't nearly as impactful.

Great video. It's amazing what impact communication has on your life, dealing with business, work, relationships, and happiness. Something I try to work on daily in my life. A lot of people need to work on there communication skills. The 6 points of communication you talk about are all important. I enjoy your videos and admire your ways of thinking

I would have never thought that being polite could be considered being inauthentic. Makes sense. Thank you for posting.

I love your videos Leo! I appreciate all the numerous precise examples that you use to make us understand your point. Thank you!

I used your video to learn and teach a group about communication. I really liked how you broke down the six keys of good communication. It was a good group discussion opener. I feel the group all learned something about their own communication skills. I know I definitely learned I need to work on my own communication skills. Thanks for the video. I will look out for more in the future.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge man. This really helped me not only in verbal communication, but also in my relationships with people. Again thanks a lot man, God bless you.

Thank you, Leo. I notice that I need to work on all of these areas in my life.

thanks for your help you can't imagine how this helps me

You're single handedly changing my life. Thank you Leo!

This video has been amazing for me and my family. Have just realised that communication theis problem area for all of us. I am now going to work out which skills we each need to work on. Thank you so much, might get back and let you know how we've done.

6 techniques very nice way explained, my weakness was assertiveness, I was not assert because i was not authentic, i need to improve on that and i will practice now. i want to become a good communicator, i love you dear for this video.

I struggle with communication issues on a daily basis. As an aspiring politician I need to be more assertive and clearer when i am speaking. This video is very helpful.

thank you Leo, for sharing this knowledge in a straight forward manner. you appear genuine in your presenting of information.

I really enjoy listening to you. You're so clear about what you are talking about everytime and make me conscious about my bad vocabulary and clarity,gonna need to work on that haha.

Leo, I get a kick out of your facial expressions - they make me chuckle. I've just begun watching your videos and are enjoying them. Thanks.

you changed my life .I understand what are you doing and that's a one hell out of a thing that you are doing you are really affecting human lives

Really loved this video.... Because mostly it's difficult for me to say no and now some people around me are taking advantage of that and also most of the time i end up in disastrous situations.

I truly enjoyed this video. You communicated very clear and directly. I can actually apply these skills right now. Thank you for your time.

I lack clarity. Thoughts are a mess in my my head and the same I project. Also, When I write (taking time), I am often clear but real time communication doesn't go smooth always. Big work on it is needed. Great video !

I really enjoyed this video. I am deaf and I wear hearing aids. I want to improve my communication skills. This definitely is what I need to work on!

You explained the points about assertiveness really well. Thanks for the great points.

Thank you Leo, I really appreciate the effort you put into all your videos.

Great video. Thanks for sharing these good tips. I'm really impressed of your work and importantly your passion to help others making their lives better.

HI my name is Kyla and i've been having problems with my dad and you really help me with being better with communicating to him

Leo, thank you for this very clear and helpful video.

This, as well as every video of yours I've seen so far, has made me finally really want to take action on improving myself and others around me. I've been depressed for my entire life, but have had points of complete confidence and self-efficacy and you are helping me to get back to the person I enjoyed being. It is very easy to thing of the negative things, which often manifest in more obvious ways, but remembering your strengths is something I had/have a hard time doing on my own. Thank you, Leo! Without people like you out there there would be many more "wanderers", your work is highly appreciated and helps people more than some may be willing to admit! :) Thanks again, my friend. I'll keep continuing to improve myself, with your help, as long as you keep doing what you do!

Awesome video, Leo always gives me useful advise, eliminating my suffering, he helps me to solve my problems.Thank You!

I just did must of this today! I was feeling really good about my authenticity in this Business meeting today. I was strong, I did listen and then told them to go ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,! So I din't do so bad.

Excellent video. Now i can see with clarity all of my communication flaws. I will be working hard because is an area i see i really need to improve. Thank you

I have bad communication skills. I enjoyed this video. Thank you for your time!

Great information! Thank you for the thorough overview to the 6 Keys of Powerful Communication.

Thanks for the video Leo. I been contemplating about how to improve my communication skills at work and this video helped a lot. I'm not one who socializes much and found that it was one of my weaknesses. I'll be sure to like and you earn yourself a new subscriber : )

Thank you! Me and my partner had to take a break to really work on this and we are learning and working on it so that once we come back communication will be very good!

Thanks for helping me with my communication skills. I learned a lot.

oh what would i do without the help from these videos, thank you so much your a genius!

Thank you for your good advices. I find out I need to improve the assertiveness in my communication.

Thank you soooo much I discovered that i have a lake of open mindedness and because of ur video i will work on that right now 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I really like the part of being authentic for yourself. I practice that a lot. I sadly experience reactions like people get quiet or feel offended instead of just talk authentic instead.

Very useful content. Most of the problems in day to day life stems from not being able to communicate effectively and assertively and positively. Tks 🙏

This is what I need right now and I see a couple of areas that will work for me. Thanks

I think the biggest key to good listening is listing and trying to understand to what the other person is saying, WITHOUT thinking in your head about what you're going to say next. It's the hardest thing to do.

Thank you for your brilliant words which are inspiring me in a daily life . I'm grateful to be bumped to your video just by accident some days ago . I'm not sure will you read it or not , but THANK YOU ANYWAYS .

rly helpful tips. I rly lacking in authenticity. I always hold back to not offend the other person, but it seems I need get rid of it and be more honest about me to the other person Im talking. Thank you!

my hypothetical methodology for acquiring good communication skills.. the 2 pillars of good communication skills: 1.EXPLICITY -authenticity (understanding first what you are trying to say) -assertiveness (he sound/tone of your voice) -precision (choice of words and timing) -acknowledgement (showing that you understand/understood) 2. ACCEPTING/RECIEVING -cognizance (considering the possibilies of ideas) -affection (how to properly react emotionally)

Good video. Really liked it. Simple but you put the message across well. I've just stumbled upon your videos but I love them.

authenticity and clarity are my goals now to work on !!

Leo. I would like to add 7th point to your talk its really important.That is what ever you are saying should not be only words with some specific dry gestures but full emotional connection with what you want to say from head to toe...Your facial expressions your shoulder movement and involvement of your whole body to express it.

FABULOUS.... thanks for the video, love your work!

Thanks Leo! Always delivering great tips!

Found your page yesterday. Awesome material. Thank you so much!!! 🧐♥️💡

Leo, you know your shit, i am so glad i accidentally ran into your videos. you are awesome to listen to. you dont hesitate on any subject you talk about. its like you know me or people's well.

In addition to what you have said about empathy, I think that it can help a lot understanding the other; understanding the reason behind what the other is doing or saying.

thank you for this very helpful video. I learned a lot and got ideas in my presentation. Thank you again.

Wow, this really is helpful to those who have problems in communication. I hope I will be able to take inspiration from this video!

methods suggested to improve communication skills in simple language are really good... I am going to adopt them in all sincerity!

I'm seeing links to your other videos on youtube and loving your kinaesthetic expressiveness! I'm going to listen to you just because I want to be fun like you ;)

I'm usually told to adopt the ideas of other individuals like you say people shouldn't criticize people this is something a lot of people around me need to learn.

Nice Video Leo..your videos always motivate me to work on myself. Thank you for the great work your doing.

Nice, I already have an idea on the areas to work on. Thanks, and the 6 keys are quite relatable.

Insightful stuff, nicely articulated. Keep breaking it down!

love this video...i realised i need work more on my own ... thank you,....

I wish I could communicate in words exactly what I think of your logic, and your brilliant mind (without sounding like a groupie). Literally all of your (many) videos I've seen really do seem to be "the truth". Thanks always for sharing.
