Every single person has a “communication style” which is made up of varying amounts of EIGHT specific elements, such as friendliness, dominance, and openness. Do you know what your communication style is?
For example, some people’s communication style may be more friendly and some people less so.

1. At 0:45 of the video, you will learn HOW to determine what YOUR “communication style” is. For example, I tend towards the “closed” off end of the OPENNESS spectrum, but in terms of FRIENDLINESS, I tend towards the friendly side. What’s yours?!
2. At 2:00 of this video, you will learn what FOUR elements of your style have been found by researchers to be MOST IDEAL if you want to be perceived by other people to be a great communicator; and

In order to be more “expressive”, here are some tips:
-Start using more exaggeration when you speak;
-Make use of storytelling;
-Use different rhythms, voices, and tones; and
-And finally…use more metaphors or figurative language when you speak.
