Over the next few minutes, I'm about to reveal to you the five skills that you need in order to be able to unleash your personal potential as well as your career potential. The fact is that majority of people will spend years and decades refining their professional skills, their technical skills and their academic skills, but practically spend no time on developing the types of skills that actually result in career and commercial success. Here they are. The first one is communication. You might be thinking you already know how to communicate because you have a reasonable command over your language, but the fact is real communication is about being able to communicate with intent and purpose and getting the response from the person that you actually want. majority of people are very poor communicators and because of that they are unable to get the career, the position, or the salaries that they want. Now communication at its basic level means the ability to influence people to get what you want. However, you can actually go a level more and you can connect with people at the deepest level so that the relationships become meaningful and there is an emotional connection through which you are able to achieve the things that you want, but also ensuring that the other person gets what they want. The second skill is public speaking. The fact is that if you take two people with the same expertise and the same knowledge and the same talent, the one that is prepared to stand out and able to make the impact to a large group of people will always be considered and perceived to be the bigger expert out of the two people. It makes sound very unfair, but the fact is that those people who are able to get over their primitive fears and get in front of a larger crowd and we have to speak with authority and conviction are people who are able to get what they want at a much larger scale. So the second skill is public speaking. The third skill is persuasion and negotiation. You see persuasion and negotiation basically means that you are able to communicate with people in such a way that you are able to find out their intent and the hidden objectives and especially in high stakes situations in the world. When you are dealing with a business case, you are dealing with a high value client, the ability to be able to persuade and negotiate is so powerful and it is going to allow you to be able to build a very successful career. The fourth skill is personal branding. Personal branding simply means understanding the elements of your personality that make you unique and being able to package that in such a way that you leave a memorable impact on people. You see some of the most successful people in the world actually have amazing personal brands. And the fact is you have a personal brand as well. The question though is do you understand what it is or are you sending out mixed vibes and signals around who you are and confusing everybody about your personality. The fifth skill that will allow you to really supercharge your career and commercial success is the ability to present well. Now if you are able to structure your content and information in such a way that people understand they memorize it and they transform by guess what it is really going to propel you towards the top 5% of achievers in your industry. So why am I talking about this? The fact is I want you to understand that you could be spending years and decades developing your technical skills and professional skills and academic skills but find that you are in the same thing as everybody else.
