Hard Pill To Swallow: Building your identity around being introverted is just an excuse for neglecting your communication skills

Have you ever frozen up for a big presentation?

If you want to be a world class communicator - Learn to play an instrument

The single eyebrow raise is an s-tier nonverbal cue

Things you will never regret doing: - Giving someone a sincere compliment - Advocating for something you care about - Making a new friend - Negotiating for better pay Life will pass you by if you’re not willing to speak up

Now that literal computers can hold conversations - what's your excuse?

Stop pretending you actually care about what’s on your timeline and go talk to that cute girl at the coffee shop

You can write the best PRD or business strategy of all time But if you can't win people to your ideas They're worthless

You are 1 serendipitous conversation away from changing your life If you’re not willing to engage in small talk with strangers You’ll never have that conversation

Get your shoulders out of your ears to be 47% more likeable

Volunteering to give a presentation on something you care about will teach you more about public speaking than any course ever will

You can easily judge what other people think of you by observing how you talk about yourself

If you would’ve told me 10 years ago that my job would basically be talking to people all day I’d have called you crazy Life’s funny that way

It took 5+ years for me to finally realize that I was a gifted communicator I told myself a story that I was a bad speaker, the quiet one You are not your past Invent a better story

Give yourself permission to close your eyes while you have creative conversations It boosts your visualization skills And helps you conceptualize what others are saying and clarify your own thinking

If you struggle with making the right amount of eye contact Aim to punctuate your points with eye contact Rather than holding it while you talk

Generational wealth doesn't need to come from financial capital (what you have) You can also generate compounding returns on human capital (what you know) Invest in yourself and the people around you

People care more about what you have to say When it's clear why you're saying it

Stop thinking in products Start thinking in ecosystems

Nothing transforms a space faster than a small positive interaction Say hello and smile at the clerk or whoever on the way in Instantly shifts your brain and now the grocery store is full of homies Your mindset shapes your reality
