How to Articulate Complicated Thoughts C...

Kara Ronin
About this episode

One of the ways in which we can distinguish average leaders from great leaders is their ability to communicate. Their ability to explain complicated topics in a clear and articulate way. You might think that people who speak in an articulate way, were born like that. But as you’ll discover in this episode, it’s more likely that they’ve been trained - trained to speak in a way that is articulate and eloquent. 

Personally, it has been my lifelong mission to be more articulate when I speak. And through this journey, I’ve discovered a 3-step process that has helped me immensely to improve my communication. It’s a process that anybody can put into action, even you. It’s based on the concept that “our speech is a reflection of our thinking”. This means that in order for us to speak clearly, we need to ensure our thoughts are clear and structured first. Once your thoughts are clear in your mind, it will be much easier for you to communicate those thoughts in a clear and articulate way.

If you’ve ever felt that you get your thoughts muddled, you don’t make sense when you speak, or you can’t express what is on your mind in a clear way, then this episode is for you! Discover my 3-step process to articulating your thoughts well in this episode.
