Welcome to The Brian Nichols Show. Well, Happy Wednesday. There's Brian Nichols here on The Brian Nichols Show. And thanks for joining us out of course, and a fun filled episode. I can, as always your humble host, joining you live from our Stratus ip TPOs you're in lovely Eastern Indiana, with cyber attacks or outdated Business Technology, put your company at risk. Learn more at the Brian Nichols show.com forward slash Stratus ip Stratus ip Business Technology simplified. So let's talk about this. Is it possible to in fact, instantly improve your persuasion and communication skills? Overnight? Well, let's talk about that. It's a question often asked by politicians, business leaders, psychologists, heck just pretty much about anyone who wants to be successful in life. And here's the reality folks the answer, it's not as simple as some would like to make it to be. So today, I'm gonna go through and give you five ways to you can go ahead and improve your persuasion and communication skills. Yes, like I said, overnight, but first, we're gonna go ahead and give a shout out to today's sponsor. And that is the amazing team over at the Libertarian Party of Illinois, folks if you are up, in fact, in the great state of Illinois, we'll head to LP illinois.org and join not just the third party in the United States, but the third best party in the United States, the mission of the Libertarian Party of Illinois is to elect libertarians to public office and to move public policy in a libertarian direction. The LP of Illinois believes that everyone owns themselves and that no bureaucrat knows better than what you need or want. When peaceful people engage in voluntary cooperation, the most number of people are served. And if you agree, help us restore Liberty up in Illinois and LP illinois.org and bring back peace and liberty in our lifetimes. One more time, LP illinois.org. All right, folks. So let's go on to today's episode a little bit shorter of an episode is, again, just you and me. And yes, we're gonna go through the five steps you can instantly use to improve your persuasion and communication skills starting with number one, it's simple, be authentic, it's important to be yourself, not someone else. If you're trying to be someone else, people will see right through it, they'll know that you're not being genuine, and they won't trust you as a result. Authenticity is key to being a successful communicator, people want to know that you're being real, not just trying to sell them something. So if they sense that you're trying to just sell something, and they'll be less likely to trust you and less likely to trust what you say, when you speak. Number two, be empathetic. We've talked about this many a time being empathetic means that you were able to do what put yourself in other people's shoes by empathizing with others, you gain a clearer understanding of what other people are feeling. You can use this knowledge of their feelings and emotions as a way of connecting with them on an emotional level. This will help make them more receptive to your message because they'll feel that you understand exactly where they're coming from and why they believe what they do. Number three, be confident when you're confident in yourself. Other people will be more likely to trust you and listen to what you have to say. Confidence is often confused with arrogance. But there is a huge, huge difference between the two. Just as Trump arrogance suggests that you think you're better than other people, and that they should listen to you and what you have to say because of your status and your position. Confidence, on the other hand isn't a belief it is rather a belief in yourself. And in your abilities. You don't need to be arrogant to have confidence. But it's also not a bad thing. If you are just make sure that when you're talking with people, they don't feel like you're trying to put them down or belittle their opinions, even if they happen to be a little different. Number four, in fact, being different, everyone wants to be unique, but not many people know what to do. There are a lot of ways to stand out in the crowd. And usually it's something like a hobby or an interest that you have that most people don't. And you can usually do something like let's say dressed differently than everyone else, just something quirky in your personality trait that makes other people laugh. Whatever it is, it's worth learning how to be different as it will help you stand out from the crowd and make you more memorable in people's minds. And number five, be passionate. If you are passionate about something it shows. It's hard if not impossible to fake. People can see right through someone pretending to be interested in what they have to say and they will quickly figure out that you're not being genuine in what you're saying and what you're talking about. And if you're in fact passionate about something, it will show it's contagious. People will want to be around you because folks Want to be around those who are passionate because passion is infectious, and it makes other people feel alive. So that's my five tips, I would say to implement right now to overnight, instantly improve your persuasion and communication skills. What do you think?
