Power of Communication:

Communication happens all the time, and mastering it is key to avoiding "death by PowerPoint" and ineffective meetings.

236 Skills of Communication:

David identified 236 skills, distilled into 110 core communication skills that range from basic to world-class.

50 skills = Good, 75 = Excellent, and 86 (Russell Brunson level) = World-Class.

Your Element as a communicator caps you out at around 90 points.

8 Key Communication Skills for Presentations:

#8: Pace:

Use contrast in pacing—speed up for less important details, slow down for emphasis.

#21: Pause:

A pause should last long enough until you feel uncomfortable, then resume. It grabs attention.

#25: Filler Sounds:

Filler sounds are used when you’re insecure, uncertain, or afraid—reducing fillers increases clarity and confidence.

#45: Functional Gestures (Mother Skill):

Plan your gestures—they increase clarity and energy. Gestures are linked to 20 other communication skills.

#69: Moving Forward:

Physically moving forward during important moments emphasizes key points.

#34: Neutral Head Positioning:

Maintain neutral head positioning, but a slight head tilt shows empathy and engagement.

#33: Self-Laughter and Look Up:

Self-laughter and looking up when thinking or recalling a memory makes you more relatable and engaging.

Amplified Eye Contact:

Strong eye contact during virtual presentations promotes oxytocin release, building trust. Look into the lens of the camera for the best connection.

Virtual Presentation Tips:

Amplified Eye Contact: Boosts oxytocin, making you more trustworthy. Tools like Plexicam can help position your camera for better eye contact.

Duchenne Smile: A genuine smile releases endorphins, making your audience feel more connected.

Body Language Insights: Mistake Movements vs. Correct Movements:

Mistake: Closed and backward body language.

Correct: Open and moving forward to emphasize points.

This session focused on the importance of intentional communication and how mastering these core skills can improve presentation, leadership, and influence. David JP Phillips outlined practical tips that can transform both virtual and in-person interactions, making you more engaging and effective.
