This episode will completely change the way you think about communication.
Not a big fan of this lady. Go figure
What you learn will boost your influence and make you more confident.
If you…
💐Thank you ❤👍
Overthink what you said hours after a meeting,
Freeze up when it’s your turn to talk,
great video! still on the topic of communication, would love to see a video about how to communicate with passive-agressive people or how to handle difficult topics (e.g. finance or other personal problems)
Or want to sound more confident without faking it…
This is your blueprint for better conversations at work, in relationships, and in life.
It is useful for me. Thank a ton!
Today, Mel sits down with Dr. Alison Wood Brooks: Harvard professor, researcher, author, and one of the world’s leading experts on the science of communication.
Her course at Harvard Business School, all about communication, is one of the most popular classes there – and in this episode she shares the exact methods she teaches to students at HBS.
You’re going to learn the exact tools and strategies that will help you communicate with more confidence, ease, and clarity.
You'll learn:
it very intersed
-What makes conversation feel so hard and how to make it easier
-The #1 mistake people make when they talk
I started posting your various interviews almost daily on my FB account . 🎉 Maybe someone will need to learn something from them and benefit big time !
-How to feel more confident even when you're anxious, blanking out, or unsure of what to say
-Why we misread people constantly (and how to stop doing it)
Being Interested in someone as against becoming Interesting is the major takeaway from this podcast. What a graceful conversation between Mel Robbins and Dr. Alisson Woods
-How to recover from awkward moments or miscommunication
-The skill every great leader, parent, and partner has in common
I have a big problem that I don't find at all the other party's talk and words interesting, it doesn't matter who, everyone, I can say from the 100% of the words I have ever listened in my life, only 5% has been interesting to me and this is my biggest problem that when nothing no word no talk from other people is interesting to me then how can I talk to them, what should I say!
Whether you want to build better relationships, stop second-guessing yourself, or speak up with more purpose and ease, this episode will give you the science, tools, and confidence to do it.

The main key to building GENUINE RELATIONSHIPS that I've learned so far is to just be yourself. Cliche, I know, but true. Just say whatever fart/insecurity comes up in your mind and be authentic. Increase and decrease the level of transparency based on the situation - e.g. don't overshare too much in a business context, but still let your personality show. The problem is that most people do not show authenticity. We all force these nonchalant personas out of fear of not embarrassing ourselves, and then we wonder why we don't have genuine connections...

What is difficult for me is that my partner, family and friends dont speak nor communicate the way I'd like too. Then i forget words when i interact with others.

I adore the absolute shite out of you, Mel.
@mckaylaedenHi Ms. Mel Robbins, good day! Would it be possible to invite Miss Universe 2018 Ms.Catriona Gray to your show someday? I think it would be an inspiring and meaningful episode for many viewers.😊
@roselynnquibuyen9616The way we communicate our emotions and thoughts goes a long way and if we can just improve that our lives will be a lot better. Thanks for this.
@mbendongruth6851Fantastic 🎉
@abomohanad2014The video content is great; I always listen to it.
@kowalskilinuxYour laugh makes contagious happiness on every audiences. Keep that kind of happiness over that conversation.
@asmelashabrha2594Such a great conversation. I feel like I learned so much, thank you so much!
@susanwick3780I noticed that with these A I models that use prompts, the software requires the user to clearly explain what they want the A I to do, which means that humans have to improve their communication and be more clear and precised. Maybe the A I 's is what gets humans to improve their communication.
@MentalHealthMindfulnessMedia" Egocentrisim "☝️
@angiesaga8276nice
@YusraFSNIs that right
@AminaAmina-m8w1rOne thing comes to my mind as everyone is missing is civilization! West and specifically USA has lack of civilization and experience and people don’t know how to interact, response, reflect or understand and support each other. Scholars trying to put everything into frame works, steps, pyramid, guidebooks and etc and that never works.
If you look at middle east and east, you can see how history and civilization improved people understanding of situations deeply without needing worthless effort
muy buenos efefectos con el zoom y demas
@juanmuñoz-inversorTALK is so insightful..
@JstTrevorbloxI intended to play this video in the background while I'm finishing a task, but as I move across these topics they are talking about, I find myself now listening and watching them instead of focusing on my first objective HAHAHAA.
@mianadawnfadriquelan5009Thanks for sharing this, learned a lot.
@IbrahimKabir-m2fReally frustrating when the host keeps interrupting the guest.
@teresa2725Beautiful ❤
