Hi, guys. It's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to Habits and Hustle. I'm here yet again one more time with my

foil, Shawnee. Hello. Hello. We don't have a camera because we don't have one camera,

so that's why she's off camera. But we are going to do an episode

today on the top three strategies for being a better communicator. I think this is a really

important one because a lot of times, and I know I've done this a bunch, I have been,

a lot of things have kind of went sideways because I didn't communicate well or properly

and I could have been way more effective. And over time, I've realized with the tons of experts

I speak to and just research and trial and error, what's really been really powerful in

how I've leveled up my communication skills. And so I wanted to share that,

talk about that. And they're very easy. These are not things that require much of anything

except implementation and practice. But I think some of these things really uplevel how you

not just communicate, but how you end up actually connecting

with people. And the first thing is being an active listener. I think listening and the quality

of how you listen is so fundamentally important. Because how many times have you spoken to people

and they're not paying attention to you?

They're looking over your shoulder or they're just waiting for you to finish speaking so then

they can end up talking. These are like massive turnoffs and no-noes. I think when you're trying

to have a really effective dialogue with somebody and connect with somebody in a real way,

you have to be paying attention.

And that requires to be listening actively, which means letting people finish when they speak,

not interrupting, and maybe even saying back some of the things that they said with a question.
