"I will recommend this to anyone keen on improving their listening and communication skills"

Before I enrolled in this class, I have always enjoyed and admired people who can communicate well both in private and public settings. It is one of the areas of my life that I focus very closely and want to pursue a speaking career to inspire people to rise above their circumstances. I speak to large number of people at work in various setting everyday. Occasionally, I get to speak in large public settings and what I found was that I am very comfortable in those settings and I am able to inspire sizable number of people to take action. 

Now after 31 days of class with my Sister Friend Lisa, I have learned more about life than actually speaking and for which I will forever be grateful. 

Lisa shared so many nuggets of wisdom but a few of them are: 
1. You are always speaking to one in one, hundred, or thousand seats. 
2. Sign up for inconvenience if you want to grow 
3. You are not only responsible for the words that come out of your mouth but how it lands!!! 4. Care-frontation and creating a safe space is priceless 
5. Dialog vs Monolog is absolutely about awareness while speaking 
6. Speaking is about how well people are able to hear and implement what they heard 
7. Our voice is for others vs our thoughts are for us. 
8. Developing our stories from the incidences of our lives 
9. Your life was designed for you to experience it but someone else to be blessed by it. 
10. Mirror and legacy work – absolutely wonderful for reality check. 
11. Finally one of the biggest breakthrough was " Show your story"!! I have been thinking about writing a book and the last point above was one of my biggest ah-ha moment. I was a decent public speaker before the class but now I can be (dangerously) exceptionally effective in communicating my ideas to inspire people to take action. However, even more important is how I want to communicate with my loved one's. I intent to continue to listen to these 31 classes again to master what Lisa has taught us and keep finding ways to share it with the world. I will recommend this to anyone keen on improving their listening and communication skills at any level and those who are willing to put in the work without "the ME factor" but with the "WE Mindset". Thank you my Sister Friend Lisa for this wonderful experience and you are one of the best I have met in my lifetime and I have met my share of people globally!!! .
