Elevate Your Communication Skills

Watch TED Talks or similar high-quality English-language content focusing on communication.

“Compensate with immersion; immerse yourself completely into that material.”

Actively listen to audiobooks, watch videos, and read books. Consume content through various mediums to enhance learning.

“Fire your mental faculties from all directions which means audio, video, watch you hear, watch you see, watch you read, watch you write.”

Speak and write every day. Write social media posts, start a journal, or engage in live videos. Aim for at least a few sentences each time.

“Speak up! If it didn't go as per your expectations delete it later on and that's fine.”

Plan your weekly content consumption schedule. Include specific shows, audiobooks, or books.

“Create a weekly manual of what material you want to go through.”

Visualize yourself confidently delivering a speech to an audience. Focus on clarity and engagement.

“Rehearse in your mind what I am going to see. Imagine; mental rehearsal!”

Visualize a successful job interview. Mentally answer potential questions with confidence and clarity.

“You have to go in an interview; rehearse in your mind what you going to say in that interview.”

Read a news article aloud with clear pronunciation and confident delivery, as if you were a news anchor.

“Pretend to be the news anchor. Take a newspaper...start off!”

Raise your hand to volunteer for presentations or speaking opportunities at work, school, or in community groups. Look for opportunities to practice.

“When you have the next opportunity in your university or in your class about a presentation, raise your hand.”

Record yourself speaking and review the footage. Analyze areas for improvement in delivery, content, and body language.

“Record yourself during that process...go back and review it.”

Engage in a short conversation with someone new each day, even if it's just a quick greeting and introduction.

“Talk to at least one stranger every day. Say hello to someone!”

Initiate and maintain a brief, casual conversation with someone you encounter in your daily routine.

Reflect on your communication interactions of the past week. Identify mistakes and plan for future improvements.

“I want you to make mistakes. I want you to learn from your mistakes. I don't want you to repeat your mistakes”
