It has been said that the meaning of your communication
is the response that you receive. There is a lot of
wisdom in that statement. Perhaps the most important point
that I have taken away from this thought is that if I want
to get a message across to someone, their level of
understanding is up to me – not them

When we
hear the word communicate or communicating we often
think about actual conversation, yet it goes so much
further than that. Mastering communication and effective
teaching skills gives you incredible influence. You will
be able to influence others so that they understand your
perspective and move in a positive direction. You will
also gain a greater understanding of other people.
The
advantages of mastering the tools that I teach in this
program are priceless. It will make you a more effective
communicator as a leader, spouse, teacher, friend,
businessperson or salesperson.
Historically, one thing that all influential people have
in common, past or present, is that they are all
effective communicators. This program makes mastering
the art of teaching and communicating fun and rewarding.
CD 1
I will begin by sharing with you methods to dramatically
accelerate your ability to learn and what you can do to
become a more effective communicator. To be an effective
teacher we must first understand how people actually learn.

There are
four characteristics of learning that I will detail and
clearly define for you. This segment will share with you
the key principle of learning. Master this principle to
become an extremely effective communicator.
We will
also discuss the two key ingredients that are necessary
to facilitate learning – we’ll call them the two R’s of
effective learning. We’ll then go in to the six laws of
learning. This will give you a fundamental understanding
of the learning process.
CD 2
In this lesson, I will take you to the next level in the
learning process. We’ll focus on three key areas that
are a must in effective learning – perceptions, insights and
motivation. These three factors are important in all areas
of life, from improving your relationships to increasing
your income.
(More)
When you
understand how to effectively master these three factors
you will immediately understand how to see what people
see or perceive, you will know what motivates them so
that you can get them to take specific action, and you
will gain a more in depth understanding of how to lead
them in the desired direction.
I will
share with you six key factors that affect perceptions.
Without knowing and understanding these factors you’ll
feel like you are talking to a brick wall. Master these
areas and you’ll be an incredibly persuasive
communicator.
Motivation
is a dominant force in effective learning. I will share
with you two types of motivation that we all share. If
you don’t know these you can’t properly motivate
yourself or others.
To make an
impact with people about your message you have to make
sure they retain what you teach. I will share with you
four areas that you must understand in order to retain
what you learn and have others retain what you teach. I
will also share with you five significant principles
that have a direct application to remembering what you
have learned.
CD 3
Although it may be common sense that effective
communication involves your audience understanding your
message, this is not always easily accomplished. You
must have what is described as the “transfer of learning”.
Teaching is great, however, changing another’s behavior
through your teaching should be one of your ultimate goals.
This is a learned skill and I will share with you four ways
to master it.

Have you
ever tried to learn something and you just couldn’t get
it to sink in? Or maybe you’ve tried to teach something
to someone and you weren’t making an impact. If you do
not know why this happens or how to change it you will
not be able to move forward. I will explain to you four
defense mechanisms that can often become challenges in
the learning process, and how to overcome them.
We will
discuss the basic communication concepts of the source,
the symbol, and the receiver; a thorough understanding
of these elements will enable you to properly transmit
feelings and ideas to other people. Whether your goal is
to improve your relationships or persuade someone to buy
your product, your goal is to transmit feelings and
ideas. The more effectively you do this in a
relationship the happier both parties will become.
CD 4
In the previous lesson I shared with you the importance
of understanding the source, the symbol and the receiver.
Have you ever tried communicating something to someone
over and over but they just didn’t seem to get it? Isn’t it
frustrating? Do you know the real reason why this happened?
Recall the statement, “the meaning of your communication is
the response that you get.” Herein lies the reason people do
not understand what we are saying – it is simply confusion
between the symbol and the things symbolized.

This is
why a wife may often not feel loved when her husband
says “I love you”, or why people will often do the
opposite of what they are asked to do. Kids are experts
at that. These challenges can be solved with the
solutions in this lesson.
In this
segment I will discuss the various ways we deliver
messages, such as how to prepare for a lecture. You will
learn how to effectively prepare your messages so that
they will be delivered skillfully.
CD 5
If you are ever in the role of teaching a class
you’ll find this lesson very valuable. In this phase of the
program we will discuss countless ways to enhance your
teaching skills and increase their effectiveness.

Have you
ever been in a classroom setting where a teacher asks
the entire class a question and elicits zero responses?
Have you been one of the pupils looking at your
classmate trying to figure out what the teacher is even
asking? Worse, have you ever been that teacher?
You ask a
question to a class or a small group of people and they
look at you as if you are crazy. Not only is this
embarrassing, it is no way to influence your listeners.
What went wrong?
One of
four things went wrong. When this happens it means that
you asked the wrong question. I am going to share with
you four types of questions that you will want to avoid
like the plague if you want to get your message across
and be an effective communicator.
CD 6
One of the best ways to measure the effectiveness of what
you have taught, lets say in a classroom environment, is to
provide some kind of test. Creating the right tests will
make the difference between comprehensive learning and
ineffective learning. Your motive in teaching should be the
transfer of knowledge that allows your students to apply
what they have learned. If this is not accomplished you have
wasted your time and efforts. I will offer you four
effective ways to do this. These are simple but very
effective.

I will
wrap up this lesson with what I feel is the most
effective teaching tool there is. It can take seconds to
master if you know how to apply this amazing tool.
Unfortunately, very few people communicate using this
method. If you want people to not only remember what you
tell them but, more importantly, act on what you tell
them, master this message. You will see that this is by
far the most powerful means of effectively communicating
with anyone, bar none!
