If school actually prepared us for life,

this video wouldn't need to exist.

When I graduated, I thought I was ready for life.

Drama, I got an A+.

Science, I got a B+.

Math, A+.

Just joking.

I didn't get that Asian gene,

so unfortunately it was B+, at best.

And the communication course?

Wait, I didn't have a communication course.

Did you?

I genuinely thought that I was ready for the real world.

I could calculate the unknown length of a triangle,

but I could not for the life of me share my thoughts during a work meeting,

even if I had a brilliant idea.

We all left school academically prepared, but socially unprepared.

School prioritizes memorization, but life rewards masterful communication.

Think about it just for a moment.

What are you doing when you're asking for a promotion?

You're communicating.

What are you doing when you're navigating difficult conversations with a loved one?

You're communicating.

What are you doing when you're in the process of buying a new home?

You're communicating.

And the list just goes on and on and on.

So in this video, I'm going to explain why school failed to prepare you for the real world.

I'll take you through exactly what I'd teach if I ran a communication fundamentals class in school.

And finally, I'll deep dive into the real reason why communication matters more than you think it does.

Most teachers learnt the skill of teaching,

but they never learnt the skill of communication.

I'm sure you can name the one boring teacher that always had you dozing five minutes into the class.

They didn't know how to use their voice.

They didn't know how to keep you engaged.

And they didn't know how to speak in a way that motivated and inspired you to be a better student.

So if most teachers never learned this skill,

how could they possibly teach it?

It's not their fault.

Things like emotional intelligence, connection,

clarity and confidence, that was not a part of the curriculum.

You see, communication requires emotion,

vulnerability, real-time feedback, and practice under pressure.

Things that schools don't accommodate for.

And if you lived through the COVID-19 pandemic,

this universally made the world worse at communication.

Because you were locked in your own homes and you were isolated from social interaction,

having meetings through a computer screen without cameras on,

and sometimes going a full day without talking to anybody.

And it's not just the working class that was impacted.

With masks on every teacher and student,

overnight the kids lost half the data they needed to learn how to communicate well.

This was the first traceable incident where we saw the impact of just removing one aspect of communication.

Facial expressions.

This led to a massive spike in speech and language development issues in children,

simply because they weren't getting facial cues from their teachers.

And also, the people who wore the masks,

they used their facial expressions less.

Wow, it's hard to talk with this.

And by the way, this is not the mask that I wear when I change my daughter's diapers.

It's the mask that my wife wears when she changes the poop diapers.

Because I wouldn't wear a Helly Kitty one.

I'd wear an Iron Man one.

But here's the craziest part.

Even before COVID, when no one was wearing masks,

most teachers weren't fully using the full range of their communication anyway.

No wonder we struggled through school.

The teachers may as well have been wearing masks.

And to be fair to the teachers,

they haven't been taught this skill.

They never learnt this skill.

The education system doesn't value communication skills.

It values the content, it values lesson planning,

it values their ability to manage the class.

No emphasis gets placed on communication during a teacher's learning journey.

In a world increasingly filled with screens,

social media, and AI slop now,

we're getting worse at the one thing

that life tests us on on a daily basis talking to

real people growing up English was my third language I was

that kid in class who never raised his hand

because one I had an accent two I wasn't able to turn my thoughts into words

and one time when I did Finally have the courage to raise my hand instead of reading the word as public.

I said pubic I remember thinking,

wow, this is what dying feels like, man.

I had potential, but it was trapped by my inability to communicate.

And for the longest time,

I thought, I'm stuck with this forever.

And maybe you've felt the same with your communication.

But if there's one thing I want you to take away from this video, it's this.

You're not stuck with the way you communicate.

The way you speak is just a set of behaviors.

Your voice is just a set of behaviors.

And if behaviors can change,

then so can your voice and the way you speak.

Over the last 15 years,

I've rebuilt my communication from scratch,

learning everything I could about the voice,

communication and public speaking, from singing to theater to improv to accent reduction classes and so much more.

And now I've been able to share this knowledge with millions of people as an international keynote speaker,

100

a communication skills coach to help people unlock their voice,

101

to unlock their potential.

102

What I know now, I wish school taught me.

103

And if I built my own school of communication,

104

these are the five fundamental lessons I teach in every single class.

105

Lesson number one, clarity.

106

This is how most adults speak when they're put under pressure.

107

Does this scenario feel familiar to you?

108

Um, okay, so hey guys and girls.

109

This is a new guy on the team.

110

Sorry, I mean, he's always been a guy.

111

Um, I mean, he's our new employee.

112

No, no, sorry, he's not our employee.

113

He's just a freelancer.

114

No, no, no, he's not.

115

He's not just a freelancer.

116

He's not good because he's actually very good at what he does.

117

He's actually very good at everything.

118

And I mean, like, oh,

119

God, he's not good at everything, obviously, because no one...

120

That's what 90% of meetings sound like with people who can't communicate.

121

Most people ramble because they have no idea what their actual end goal is,

122

what they actually want to get across,

123

and the outcome they actually want.

124

And they end up speaking out loud their thinking process,

125

instead of processing their thinking and then speaking.

126

If you want to speak with clarity,

127

you need to start with intention.

128

And the rule for achieving this is asking yourself this question before every interaction.

129

What do I want this person to think, feel, and do?

130

If schools just taught this one question,

131

we'd save thousands of hours of our lives,

132

because meetings would now be like this boys this is eugene

133

our new team member think of him as being a mercenary

134

here to support us in all of our missions i want

135

you all to feel completely comfortable to ask eugene for help

136

when you need it he's ready to back us up here's

137

what i want you all to do think of one key task eugene can help you with all right is

138

that all clear yeah all right hands in everyone hands in

139

hey no one oh thank god thank god one of you came back the only one that really cares about me.

140

Oh, that's so much better, isn't it?

141

Clarity is the key to being an effective communicator.

142

And that's lesson number one.

143

Lesson number two, emotion.

144

People feel you before they hear you.

145

Communication is 80% emotional tone.

146

That's how you say it.

147

Watch me say the same words with a different emotion

148

and I want you to notice how it changes the very meaning of the words that I say.

149

We need to talk.

150

We need to talk.

151

I'm so sorry for your loss.

152

I'm so sorry for your loss.

153

You got a B plus in math?

154

Huh?

155

You got the B plus in the math huh?

156

You the B Asian or you the Asian?

157

Huh?

158

You want me to kill you huh?

159

I kill you man.

160

I get points for the Asian prop too right?

161

Pete put this back on set.

162

Now that last one

163

that I did the example with my mum that's definitely not a repressed childhood memory leaking out through my skits.

164

Let's move on.

165

Can you see how

166

when you change the emotion it changes the meaning of what you say even if you use the exact same words?

167

So make sure when you're communicating

168

that the tone the tonality of your message matches the emotion of your voice otherwise miscommunication is bound to happen

169

and the fastest way to control the emotion in your voice is by you changing and controlling your facial expressions.

170

When your face is expressive your voice becomes alive but when your face is dead your voice just flatlines.

171

Lesson three structure.

172

School gave us essays a damn lot of them but it did not give us real-world structure.

173

This is a situation that will happen inevitably all the time in your career.

174

You'll be put on the spot with a difficult question

175

and without structure you lose your train of thought you start to ramble

176

and then you're going to speak in circles

177

and then as a result lose credibility the fastest way to speak with structure is by using frameworks

178

and let me give you an example of how it works the human brain is crazy you've got

179

so many thoughts going on in your mind

180

and the moment someone asks you a question

181

if you speak immediately then you're speaking from that point and

182

that moment of chaos and then you start to speak your thinking and then that destroys your credibility.

183

What a framework does is it creates a funnel

184

and it allows you to distill a meaningful piece of communication that is clear,

185

that is concise, and that's coherent.

186

And when you speak in this way,

187

it levels up your credibility.

188

There are so many different frameworks that you can learn to help you in many different situations.

189

And the moment you find yourself in any situation,

190

once you know all of these frameworks,

191

you can pick the right framework and use it in the right situation to distill a meaningful piece of communication.

192

And I've actually filmed and created a free two-hour class focusing on just this one lesson.

193

In this training, I'm going to teach you three of the most powerful communication frameworks to help you speak with more clarity,

194

more conviction, and impact.

195

So you stop rambling when you're feeling nervous and when you're put on the spot.

196

If you want to access that,

197

just click the link in the description or scan the QR code on screen.

198

Lesson number four, presence.

199

Ow!

200

Not these type of presents, Peter.

201

Not these ones.

202

I mean presence.

203

Think of presence as your whole communication aura.

204

It's how you're making people feel when you're delivering the words.

205

Again, it's not just what you say.

206

It's how you say it.

207

It's how you present yourself when you're saying it.

208

It's made up of four things.

209

Volume, posture,

210

melody pauses just look at my communication here um you know um presence is really important

211

because

212

when you have like you know good presence uh it just

213

like radiates magnetism um i just think it's it's it's it's really critical right

214

so yeah now i want you to see me with presence,

215

shoulders back, breathing in deeply,

216

more melody, voice warm and grounded.

217

And that's what's going to make you more magnetic when you have more presence.

218

Damn, did you see the difference?

219

Did you hear the difference?

220

Did you feel the difference?

221

And as you do this you improve your communication aura

222

and the last lesson I wish school spent more time on is lesson number five Connection

223

if someone's going through a hard time like a breakup and you walk in like this Hey,

224

party, Peter, what's going on?

225

You're looking great brother.

226

Yeah, give this a blow.

227

Let's take a selfie together Yeah,

228

in that situation you just basically emotionally punch them in the face.

229

If you want to learn how to truly connect with people,

230

you need to understand this foundational rule of communication.

231

Meet people where they are,

232

then lead them to where you want to go.

233

School never taught us how to pick up on how someone's really feeling.

234

But it's honestly the difference between feeling heard or feeling ignored.

235

See, in that scenario, Pete was feeling sad from the breakup.

236

And if I wanted to connect with him,

237

I'd first have to meet him where he currently is.

238

I'd let Peter take an emotional breath.

239

And then I'd ask him, how's he feeling?

240

I'd even share how I've been in this situation before.

241

And I'd let him know that I'm here for him if he wants to talk.

242

Now that I've met him where he is,

243

I don't want him or I to stay in this energy.

244

So now I can lead him to where I want to go.

245

A different emotional space.

246

When you do this, they're way more receptive to whatever you want to talk to them about.

247

Whereas most of us don't do this.

248

We just talk about what we want from the very start

249

without being aware of what the other person's even feeling in that moment.

250

This is the difference between average communicators and masterful communicators.

251

They know how to connect with anyone regardless of the situation they're in.

252

I want to reiterate why learning these five lessons is more important than you think.

253

Firstly, your communication has a direct impact on your income.

254

In a 2023 study on interpersonal communication,

255

it found that people who had stronger communication skills reported higher work performance and greater professional growth.

256

Which, surprise surprise, is directly tied to your pay.

257

Number two, your career opportunities.

258

You can be a 10 out of 10 with your technical skills.

259

But if your communication skills are a 3 out of 10,

260

do you think the world

261

and the workplace perceives you to be a 10 out of 10 or a 3 out of 10?

262

A 3 out of 10.

263

The reality is you're only as good as you can communicate.

264

There's a reason employers list communication skills as the number one soft skill they look for.

265

And let me correct them.

266

It's actually not a soft skill.

267

It's an essential human skill.

268

Number three, relationships.

269

A 2020 study on couples showed that communication competence,

270

things like empathy, expression, and active listening,

271

had a strong positive correlation with relationship satisfaction.

272

Whether it's your partner, whether it's your children,

273

or your friends, or your co-worker,

274

clearer communication creates deeper bonds.

275

And the list goes on.

276

And again, communication is the one thing school never prepared us for.

277

Yet life finds a way to test you on these skills every single day at every point of your career.

278

The moment you learn this skill,

279

your entire life opens up.

280

Your relationships shift.

281

Your opportunities start to grow.

282

And your confidence, it starts to skyrocket.

283

Look, school prepared you for exams, not real life.

284

But you're here now.

285

and I make these videos on my YouTube channel to teach you the rest.

286

And if you wanna go deeper,

287

join me for my free two-hour class where I teach you the three frameworks to help you speak with more structure,

288

clarity, and confidence.

289

And that's it.

290

You've just completed your induction class for communication,

291

the one you should have had in school.

292

That's a gold star for you.

293

I can't wait to see you in the next class.

294

But before this, you have detention.

295

And in detention, you must watch this next video.
