As a 40 year old “educated” communications professional, I struggle with verbal communication. Your video is communication skills gold! I look forward to consuming more of your content.
This is an amazing content; I can resonate most of the points. 1. Unnecessary information and giving too much information trying to make them understand FOMO. 2. Repeating the same content twice or thrice. 3. Rushing to complete my sentence. And no intellectual connection between 2 sentences. Thanks for the great content.
Another thorough and informative presentation Kara! I watched it twice and took notes the second time around! Here's my summary: 1. Expand your vocabulary (through reading, listening, taking notes, and using new words when conversing with people). 2. Get straight to the point and give people the most important information only. 3. Share one thought at a time. 4. Identify your main point before you start talking. 5. Use reading to improve your speaking (by absorbing information and reading out loud). 6. Use writing to improve your speaking (it helps you to organize your ideas and thoughts which, over time, will help you to do the same when speaking). Writing can also be used to do "active recall" which involves summarizing something you've read (e.g. a chapter of a book). 7. Watch documentaries and interviews to study the verbal and nonverbal communication of articulate, eloquent people. Write down what you notice and incorporate these elements into your own communication. That's how you learn from the best. Cheers Kara! Looking forward to checking out another one of your videos soon!
This may be all right for a native speaker but for a non native listening is so necessary ! As a teacher, I would say improve your speaking through Listening first, alongside your reading.
What a great video! I highly agree with all of her points especially reading out loud and writing. I enjoy writing comments on UA-cam on videos I watch, which helps me convey my thoughts in a brief, clear and interesting manner. I would add to Kara strong list by 1. Start off agreeing with or complimenting the person speaking. If you immediately go for the attack your audience will discount what you have to say. 2. Number your comments. For example, "there are four factors critical in completing this project on schedule." 3. Smile, speak slowly, have inflections in your speech, use hand gestors and believe that you are the greatest orator in world.
7:24 read it aloud for yourself, it does a great impact on your communication because it forces you to repeat sentences to communicate effectively 8:30 writing and active recall in your own words, better use the book's words! :) the Socratic method
i wish i had found this vid earlier, cuz being 64 its poss too late to change my ways!! i have been teaching (winging it) english for 17yrs now, and have struggled to find students, due to a combination of accent and talking too fast! I will watch yr vid several times and hope or pray that it will help me!!! as i am at my wits end!!!
Ma'am, you have made life more simple than it used to be in office. We need lot of rectifications from within which refines our communicating skills and organise ourselves in ma much productive communicating manner. I keep listening to you in all your multiple vdos.
Thank you so very much for this great content. I've started reading books and articles in order to achieve the same goals that you had. I can't put into words how this video has helped me. Great job.
I needed this. Thank you so much. I literally took notes just to remember and implement these helpful tips. I’m working on my speaking, I have the tendency to overload thoughts and details to my listeners. This video helped me to also see it from their perspective so my engagement can improve. I appreciate this video and again thank you.
Kara what an absolutely brilliant teaching video. The way you identified the common faults and how to fix them is truly a treasure to anybody who wants to perform at a top level getting their message heard. I really like the way you present yourself. Professional but I also felt you're very warm and so likable in your mannerism. I normally wouldn't listen to this type of teaching program but as soon as i listened to you, in the first minute i was fascinated in what you were saying and how you said it. Thankyou.
Thank you, amazing video with practical tips. After a recent leadership workshop wrapped-up I knew I needed to work on speaking with clarity and certainty - but I didn't know how to start. Until I watched this video.
stumbled across her video while searching for content to improve my speaking skill. love all of her videos. thinking what we are thinking as almost all of her videos mentioned, helps me improve how I transfer an idea,articulate my thoughts clearly in my own language thus makes me easier to transfer it in english.
I'm so glad I came across this video to improve my communication. All your points connected to what I was doing wrong. Thank you for all your hard work in sharing these skills with us :)
I agree with you Kara, reading and wrting immensely helped me improve my communication skills. And it helps in articulation as well. Helpful video as always! Thank you Kara.
I so need this rn! I am struggling with communication in a clear and concise term that I have to rephrase my statement more than once to my team. Thankyou for sharing 🫂
I start listening to Jordan Peterson, the way he articulates his thoughts are mind-blowing, he's in a different intelectual league, I would recommend him to enhance your vocabulary
Thank you for anything That you put a meaningful efforts to put the great information all together And it's impressive the way you describe as well Lastly thank you for the sharing details information
Can you relate to what I describe in this video? Be sure to check out the book list in description to get started with reading to improve your speaking. 😀
@Kara Ronin, I came across your channel recently. Appreciate your explaination and style to put across your ideas. Keep uploading videos to uplift the community.
Thank you so much for these videos!! This is so great, I am going thru a period with my manager and she is not so nice these days but I am trying to do what I can to give her clear concise information at all times, and only what she asks for. Have a great week.
I’ve had this feedback too. One that finally resonated with me was, “don’t bury the lead”. Give with the main point (the “WHAT”) and they’ll ask if they need more info.
@kara ronin - Really liked the points you put on here. This generally happens with me- i do jumble between multiple thoughts while speaking in front of the group. It would help if you share some tips on how to control thoughts while speaking. What kind of exercise whould you suggest. Thanks for the video!
Helpful tutorials thank you so much!! This is an area I struggle with. I get too much into my head and worry about what the other person is thinking. I can feel intimidated easily, especially when I'm around people with perceived academic backgrounds my voice shuts down. I instantly start feeling self-conscious, so much so that I struggle to concentrate on dialog. Do you have any tips for overcoming this?
Beautiful. I want to learn more from you. I most only regulate my ptsd symptom first before I start to learn something new. This is very helpfull knowledge. I take 50 tought at time and increase by 100 it feels so for me. I dont jump between tought I fly between them.
Kara it's such a nice coincidence for me that I've found this video of yours because years ago I started to come to these same conclusions about having the ability to speak very clearly. And most of what you say seems to match the conclusions I've come to. Congrats for your videos. You really speak very nicely and clearly . I've already subscribed to your channel.
Thank you very much teacher for your teachings, I love the British accent, can you tell me why "it's me" is used to indicate "it's me"? I understand that "it" is used to refer to animals or things specifically...
I'm so glad to hear that SM. I think improving communication takes time. Be patient with yourself and stay committed to it. One day, you'll see that your communication has improve a lot!
Sophisticated language has nothing to do with clarity, maybe a broad vocabulary does because it allows you to be specific in naming things and ideas. You can have an illiterate person engage in clear communication. Clarity is about being concise, communicating a single thought at a time in as few words as possible. Being concise is about being specific in what you say, using the right word to refer to an idea or a thing. Clarity is greatly helped by simplicity, in the structure of sentences and in the choice of word. Relying on nouns and verbs in a simple sentence to communicate an idea is as simple as it gets. However, conciseness and simplicity shouldn't compromise the completeness of the thought you're trying to communicate. I remember reading this in a book on English philology. Ultimately, clarity is about saying what you mean. If you do a good job at saying what you mean and people don't understand you, then you need to think about what you mean; maybe your thinking is the issue. I read somewhere that clarity of communication is like a clean (clear) window, through which you can see the interior of a house. The interior of the house is the thought in your mind and the window is your communication.
Very useful video Kara. I m so happy to watch your every video. I have been here in your channel since the very beginning. Thank you for your contribution for making such videos. Awesome.
I'm delighted you enjoyed this video Bhim! I'm so grateful you're still following after all this time 🙏 I'm honoured to be a part of your leadership journey.

As a 40 year old “educated” communications professional, I struggle with verbal communication. Your video is communication skills gold! I look forward to consuming more of your content.
It's strange but sometimes we communications professionals are the ones that struggle the most with communication 😅 😂
"Consuming" - great descriptive word
This is an amazing content; I can resonate most of the points.
1. Unnecessary information and giving too much information trying to make them understand FOMO.
2. Repeating the same content twice or thrice.
3. Rushing to complete my sentence. And no intellectual connection between 2 sentences.
Thanks for the great content.
were you able to overcome all these points?

Fantastic key points and it's great you took notes! I hope this advice will ve valuable for you Conor!
Appreciable
Wow...love your summary!

I love how clear and easy your explanations are!
I used to over communicate as well. I use “top down” communication now. Clear and concise. I also adjust my style to the audience.
7:24 read it aloud for yourself, it does a great impact on your communication because it forces you to repeat sentences to communicate effectively
8:30 writing and active recall in your own words, better use the book's words! :) the Socratic method
I started listen to Peter and also I really appreciate the way you speak.

I have trouble communicating when I am relating something that has upset me. Your videos have helped me tremendously! Thank you!
Yes! I tend to speak fast my emotion will take over me.

I start listening to Jordan Peterson, the way he articulates his thoughts are mind-blowing, he's in a different intelectual league, I would recommend him to enhance your vocabulary
He's an amazing communicator!
Agree though he has a twisted and dangerous mind. This is the danger when using words to lure and manipulate the environment.
What’s dangerous about his mind. I’m dying to know what you mean?
@@1kawiboy One example would be his position on Russia and Ukraine, which is utterly misleading.
Jordan is a legend
This is incredibly helpful content. Thank you for sharing.
Your communication is perfect.
Thank you for anything
That you put a meaningful efforts to put the great information all together
And it's impressive the way you describe as well
Lastly thank you for the sharing details information
Love your video. Its helping to solve my problem in communication
Great communication for its own sake should be the goal and not only for the job/work.
I really needed this! Thank you 😊

Unique representation of ideation
Another tip is to eliminate unnecessary helping words like "has/had" or "has/had been," which weaken your speech and pad it out.

1. Expand your vocabulary through reading.
2. Remove no relevant information
3. Say a point at a time.
