➡️These 5 superpowers are a good jumping-off point.

1. Charisma. People with this quality have allure, a special style, charm, light-heartedness, and magnetism. Others quickly recognize there's something interesting about their personality that's attractive. 🔷A/E/C PRO TIP: Most babies aren't born with charisma. We can learn this trait and reinvent ourselves to be more personable and confident. For example, notice role models and mentors who have positively impacted you. How do

Interpersonal communication in A/E/C is about the CONSTRUCT of your interactions with others.

And the negative self-talk that loops around your busy brain 24/7. 

👉We all experience it but few know how to control the mental chatter that holds us back.

I was there, and, thankfully, I'm not there anymore.☀️

In my interview with Ron Nussbaum, host of the Construction Champions Podcast, I'll show you how to retool your mindset and confidence so that you're a Top Tier Communicator. 

I share the crucial piece in the short clip above. ⬆️⬆️⬆️

And I invite you to click here and watch the 30-minute episode on YouTube. 

You don't have to say anything at shortlisted interviews and networking events.

Others pick up on your body language and subconsciously decide if you are approachable.

Your nonverbal communication says it all. 

Humans are "people-watchers." 

Research has long shown that we observe more than we listen. 

Prospects and clients make snap decisions in under five seconds about whether to engage with you. 

This underscores the importance of your nonverbal cues.

✅How do you move and behave?

✅What is your face "saying" about your confidence and mood?

✅Are your gestures (even if you're standing alone in a luncheon) inviting and welcoming?

Yes, architecture, engineering, and construction firms hire me to teach staff how to confidently and clearly speak and deliver presentations. 

It's easy to get your words tangled. I get it. 👀

Still, impactful communicators reach beyond their words so they win pursuits. 

They recognize that nonverbal skills are equally critical in this balance.

Usi...

There's a rampant fear of public speaking in A/E/C. 

👀Here's the real cold hard truth about this. 

You say you're afraid or nervous about speaking up. 

But, it's not the talking part that brings anxiety. 

👉👉The underlying issue is you don't trust yourself. 

You say you don't feel confident even though you know the material inside and out. 

It's about facing your truth about the deeper issue of self-doubt and trust.

I see it every day with coaching clients and in my group programs. 

A/E/C pros who are willing to commit to becoming better communicators quickly lose their fear of public speaking. 

They actually enjoy engaging with others (and generating business.) 

👉It's an inside job. 

Transform your negative self-talk first to gain confidence and begin to trust yourself at a deep core level. 

Your self-inflicted fear of public speaking will subside. 

Then, you'll grow connections, opportunities, and profits.🎯

Reach out if you're ready to learn! 

If you''ve been in a shortlisted interview and don't have the answer to a question, don't beat yourself up. 

Watch the 1-minute video above and quit the negative self-talk so you can truly shine!

You have a fear of speaking up at presentations or meetings? 

Maybe you’re afraid you stink at networking.

Or maybe you’ve been scaring yourself with imposter syndrome because you don’t have all the answers for clients. 

Read the words on the man’s shirt that I saw this morning. 

Facts Over Fear. 

🎯Fact: All humans are born with 2 innate fears. 

1- The fear of falling.
2- The fear of loud noises. 

Somewhere along life’s journey, you’ve convinced yourself you stink at public speaking, networking, and pursuits. 👀

Blah, blah, blah.

I was there years ago, and I’m not anymore. 😂

Today, I know it’s all learned behavior that you can unlearn to be more successful. 

That’s a fact. 

Is it time to stop scaring yourself and staying stuck?
