The Genius of Great Communicators 

Who’s the greatest communicator you know?

*Behind every strong person is a story that give them no choice*

Communication is an underrated skill

Non-verbal communication plays such a huge part when communicating with others. Looking at someone shows that you are paying attention to them and it's all about them.

Communication equals wealth. Thank you for sharing Mr Bet David.

Pat, you're definitely one of the best communicator I know. You have the ability to explain a subject in a way that makes everyone understand your point of view and think through a different angle. It's not given to anyone so thanks for inspiring me

Prolonged eye contact can get awkward... I find eye contact is effective when listening or trying to make a point, but don't be afraid to look at what's going on around you

Pat, you are the kind of human being that inspires me to be my best.

In Switzerland, where I’m from, this is basic. No one will communicate without eye contact. This is seen as the minimal sign of respect one should give in a conversation.

Read a book, and there was a statistic along the lines of: "Verbal fluency and strong communication skills are the number one predictor and skill to getting ahead in your professional life and corporate world." In my opinion this holds true to personal life as well..

Would love an in depth video about going through all the elements of great communication. It is such an underrated skill and in such a technological advanced world we life in today the communication and social skill of people have never been so low. Alot of people these days have become so used to communicating on their computer and phone that they basically forgot how to communicate effectifely in person!

New topic of the month of April. Communication. 10 SM post 3 reports of EFFECTIVE communication 4 videos on do's and don'ts and stories of effects of communication.

Eye contact is everything

Sometimes all you need is a fresh perspective.....many times I have to remove myself to see through another's eyes. Good stuff...

When uncle PBD speaks, you listen! Thank you uncle Pat

Shared this to my FB feed. My favorite interviewer in the known universe. Ty, sir, once again. People shud all do that w their kids.

Great lesson and being able to communicate effectively is one of the most valuable skills anyone can learn

young fella's blessed to have such a father

Communicating ideas make the world go round. Communication is literally everything

Who else here has loads of thoughts and feelings about things but struggles to communicate them effectively?

"What we have here, is a failure to communicate." -- Cool Hand Luke

A great communicator understands tone / pitch of voice. A great communicator also speak with enthusiasm, passion, and conciseness with the ability to elaborate with simplicity if need be.

this is for me , alyws when i'm watching your videos i naver said i wish have money like him or success in life like him , i awlys said i wish i can be good talker like you , you have this method to make ppl focus in what you saying

Lord knows I need to work in communicating better especially with my daughter. Thank you pat

Pat your the best communicator 💯

Thanks PBD for always Inspiring US!!!🙏🏽🔥🙏🏽

Moral: 1- While taking see in eyes& talk. 2-Give your undivided attention to people

I respect You for teaching your son the importance of eye contact! He will definitely grow with “backbone” and be an honest man. Not needing to fear others, it’s a noble trait that many lack and the world needs more honesty within individuals! God Bless

I love how he is raising his children! Awesome!

by far the best content on YT, if you are going to watch youtube make sure the time is spent on this kind of stuff. THANKS

A firm handshake while looking someone in the eyes is very important and goes a long way!

This is an evergreen advice Pat. Thank you very much!

God bless you! 🌷 Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I just found you from another video. One of the main reasons why I look at people in their eyes, is because of micro expressions. You made a very good video, and sounds like you're a good dad as well. Yes, thinking child-like is important.

Being a great listener makes you a good speaker.

EYE CONTACT!! Really makes a difference

Patrick, you are so on-target with this sage advice. THANK-YOU!

Thank you sir, I've watched probably about 50 or 60 of your RU-vid videos and this one kinda hit me the most. I've been trying to get better at talking to my daughter and you gave me some great ideas Thanks again

Sometimes some people secretly disklike themselves and mentally internally punish themselves by smoking because they’ve lost inspiration-ambition and wether or not they smoke to give the appearance of looking tough or Kool; it may show lack of forgiveness or the need for a caring ear to help them heal. Then again abuse and hardships that children face may lead to these behaviours, I feel this way because I have found that clients in my salon speak openly and honestly when they are comfortable and yes respect Me. I support herbal Medecine; however smoking cannabis versus tobacco is different because of the chemicals in tobacco need a whole new discussion.

The most important skill which takes time and lots of practice to get good at it but it pays of because it make an impact in life Thanks for sharing

My coworker was trying to explain the situation at work to our Foreman the other day and my Foreman had to ask him to repeat several times because the whole time my coworker was talking, my Foreman was trying to pick something off the roof of his mouth. It made me uncomfortable to observe the "conversation" and my coworker told me later that it really ticked him off. Eye contact is SO important!

Thanks David

Thank you Patrick, this was soo lovely. Soo lovely, I need to tell you this, the best talks I heard last year , were your talks with mafia people you had on your channel. Thank you so much for conveying so much depth, and value. And I am taking this challenge, it's many times good and we thought they already know or should know ..

I have so much knowledge but because of not communicating well i feel powerless , but will improve

Nice place you got there Patrick. Very Inspiring... I pass on your videos to all the youngsters I know of... Thank You...

Thank you.

You are a good man. Father bless this family!!

Hey Pat fantastic content as always. Do you have any book recommendations on effective communication?

You are so great innovator, keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland, I have been following You since 2016. And also watched the all the videos from the start that has been interesting for me (as a starter entrepreneur).

this is great thanks

Never had it explained this way before. Thankyou Pat👊🏼😎

Love videos like this

Communication is the fundamental ability everyone who want to be success needs to have.

I appreciate it Pat, the eye thing I've always kinda knew & stuff but I personally desperately need to rebuild my confidence back up and passed the point it was when I was 15 and won my first sports championship as a starter and also got the MVP oh, and the sportsmanship trophy that year and every other year I got the sportsmanship trophy in that one league. So when I was talking to my boss I'm pretty sure it's the confidence thing of listen to some Jordan Peterson and he has the answer for me I just can't seem to get my family to be on board with positive reinforcement and encouragement no matter my efforts it never seems to matter I can give 110% and most of the time that will get me more negative feedback constantly and I think I'm aware of why that is, I can always learn more I reckon but when I was talking to my boss about a year ago over a small minor incident and it was something I just had no idea that I even did because it was something very minor but it was also something very very key in understanding. There was a Salesman guy that never did a good job to be honest but I never had his job so I can't say for sure that I could do any better but I worked on a beer truck and all of the other salesmen got along with their drivers and did a good job there wasn't a lot of empty holes the store managers wasn't bitching at us went while we was delivering the beer over empty holes and other things in the salesman's area but in my hometown and a gas station I went to quite a bit and do all the workers there, the cashier I was talking to she asked me where was this guy at she hadn't seen him in the past couple weeks and it was that salesman and this is after conversation for 2 minutes probably, & she what is mainly the only one talkin and it was very normal for every store we went to that that certain person sold they all bitched about this guy and nobody could stand in and I'm very nice I don't ever have any problems with people and I'm pretty sure I understand myself in that aspect to I'm very self-aware lol but I told that lady when she asked me where he was, "that I'm not exactly sure, I heard that he was demoted" & literally that was it and i guess she told that salesman and he went & ended up complaining to my boss which for almost 2 years, I hardly got to speak to him. Mainly cuz of Me avoiding him as much as possible, over fear & aniexty. So as I'm talking to him it is very hard to look him in the eye even though I told the truth and I couldn't even remember I said that because it was so minor but he explained why it wasn't good and I moved on from it but that interaction could not have helped me whatsoever because I'm telling you I damn near cried and I've never really known how to deal with that... have any suggestions? I think a mentor to move in with would be amazing for like 6 months maybe a year preferably. I have no problem with pulling my own weight and not taking a dime that I haven't earned. I don't have hardly anyone except my two boys that look up to me and I know they see that lack of confidence & stuff. Other than that Pat im the best damn 27 year old Dad there is in my entire state i feel like. Im proud of it more than anything else.

Visual sense can be dominant for most people when making eye contact. It’s a type of nonverbal communication. Our eyes are what attracts a person the way we look at them. It can include many things such as, attraction, affection or hostility.

Much needed!! Thanks for your video!

It's the little things that make all the difference, because you learn that the little things that have a HUGE impact.

Brother your a role model to us, many thanks ...

Thank you! Appreciate your videos 🙏🙏🙏

Awesome Pat! Thank you!!!

In the 70's there was a book called COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION- the layers. This us absolutely true.

More communication videos please

That’s me ✊ everybody tell me that. I explain things to people in ways they understand.

Inspirational, Thank You!

Thanks Pat for this, need it

Thx Patrick! Never thought of this before ;)

Great video as always, thanks Pat! 👍

PBD might be the greatest communicator I know.

Legendary Advice, as always

Great information! Communication is the key!

Excellent❤thanks PBD🙏

Thank you Mr. PBD.... 💪🏼❤👍🏼⚔🇺🇸🙏🏼

Awesome! Thank you 😊

Tom Bilyeu pops up into my mind when talking about looking the other person in the eyes when they speak. If you watch his interview you will get it.

Great video. Thank you!

Well said, Pat 🙌

Hard to look you in the eye while I'm also eyeing that palace behind you. Sorry. Looks like a place on Florida's intercoastal . Beautiful

Amazing insights!! Have a blessed 2021! :)

Great info.

Children are definitely the best communicators when given the opportunity without interruption or lecture, just a normal conversation with emotional tangents, exciting and elaborate loop dee loops, and an innate ability to confound with logic all in one conversation. I am not sure when i heard or learned it, but growing up in south africa looking people in the eyes i regarded as mildly aggressive. Or i may have miss interpreted not looking at animals in the eyes to avert an attack? I should probably have verified that philosophy decades ago. Whatever the reason, i had an inability to look at people in the eyes, though i can perceive without looking. I may have learned that in judo? I knew to much eye contact even in the u.k. made people uncomfortable and not enough would leave them feeling under appreciated. At some point i learned a wee trick, look at each eye in turn, then the mouth and back to the eyes. Got some strange looks on the occasion till i started to pay attention to other facial proportions of those i engaged in conversation with. To this day i would still have trouble telling you the eye colour of the person i spent hours conversing with. My language and imagination isn't as colourful or descriptive enough to say the suspect had the complexion and features like chicken skin (i heard once). I have got a bit better at paying superficial attention, the thought simply never crosses my mind in the moment.

This is good information. On the other side of the question, though, did you ever hear of the book LOOK ME IN THE EYE, by John Elder Robison? When I saw it in the bookstore, I knew I had to read it; so when I got home, I found it in our public library.

Amazing so true brother welcome to Florida

Hey Pat, any chance you make a video on how one can improve their english to a native champion level just like yourself ? I've always been amazed by how fluent your english is and so would be delighted to know some tricks you carry in your sleeves here and there. Thank you!

Nice Pad Pat

I love your channel! can you please recommend few books about how to develop these skills? Thank you

Yes 👍 man keep up the good work 🙏🏻🙋‍♂️👍

One of the things i notice with myself, is that I simply forget to look people in the eye. My mind just keeps wondering and it takes a few minutes till I get focused in mentally on the person. When our mind is riddled with anxiety and other issues, it's hard for us to concentrate and be present in the moment with the people we are talking to.

My favorite place is the inter coastal in orange beach

Superb !

MOSt good communicators are BORN that way to an extent. Good communicator makes "connections" & listen, talkers just talk. i HATE the line "fake it till you make it", i prefer "believe it till everyone else does". Anyone that's convinced of something will probably believed what they were saying or doing. I can't sell you a old car just for the sake of making $$$ but i can sell that car if there's something i believe in worth my effort ! i WON'T "keep" helping someone if the "communication" is closed, kind of like you played out with your son. oh, & the eye thing definitely WORKS !

Thanks again Pat for sharing. You're one of the greatest communicators I've met. Perhaps my other mentors and former bosses Rick Goodwin and Marvin Gurley were also some of the best.

This is excellent advice and I have always been conscious and aware of eye contact while listening to others. It is one of my peeves when I am talking and the person is distracted all over the place. It makes me feel dismissed and unimportant. Yes, men are horrible with looking at a woman when talking, its highly annoying and creates anxiety. I find that even my girlfriends do it as well....it is rude imo.

Yes listen to Richard Heart at ( HEX )

Amazing communication and amazing house bro 👍💪

Nice video 💯

Super official! Thanks

A couple hours on this topic might be helpful thank you🤍
