It’s Not What You Say, it’s How You Say it That Counts
It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it that counts. And even that’s not enough for you to be fully understood. There’s a big difference between what someone says as opposed to what they’re really saying. And this is where emotional intelligence comes into play. How sharp are your skills in reading the facial expressions, body language, and intonation as other people speak? Can you perceive the emotional information before you? On the other hand, what kind of emotional information are you sending out when you speak?
Research by Carnegie Mellon shows that 85% of your professional and personal success is based on your communication, presentation and speaking skills. PEW Research reports that communication skills are the number one quality companies want for leadership skills when they hire or promote someone.
Good communication is more than being a great public speaker. It is more about your interaction with your team, your peers, your friends and family, etc.
Emotion is the superhighway to the brain and storytelling is the vehicle to drive on that highway. Learn how to develop and deliver engaging stories, making an emotional connection with your audience.
With your well-trained mind, voice and body in sync you are in a better position to mindfully, accurately and authentically communicate your information to others, and, more important, communicate the emotions behind your information to your audience.
Supercharge your emotional intelligence and learn how to influence more people, sell more products, services and ideas, and inspire more successfully than you ever imagined.
Remember, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it that counts!
