Have you ever thought that you don't make sense when you speak,

that you get your thoughts muddled or that you can't express yourself clearly?

If that sounds like you,

then you are not alone and this video is absolutely perfect for you.

We're going to talk about a three-step sequence to help you articulate your thoughts so you can communicate them clearly.

Now if you follow this three-step sequence and you do it on a regular basis,

it's going to help you organize your thoughts better

so you can articulate them well and communicate them verbally in a clearer way.

Because at the end of the day,

our speech is a reflection of our thinking.

If your thinking is muddled,

if it is confused, then your speech is going to come out confused as well.

Whereas if your thinking is clear,

if it is organized, then your speech will come out clear and organized and articulate as well.

So in order to communicate and articulate clearly.

We need to start with our thoughts.

We need to organize our thoughts in a clear way,

in a very structured way.

So when we communicate, those thoughts come out in a very clear and easy to understand manner.

If you like what you're going to learn in this video,

there are two things you can do to help out my channel.

You can hit the like button below this video,

which tells the algorithm that people like you like this video.

So it's shown to more people on YouTube.

The second thing is you can subscribe to my channel.

Every week I release videos on leadership to help people like you in their leadership journey

and I would be honored to share this content with you as well.

Now let's move on to how to articulate your thoughts clearly.

So the first thing you need to do is to read.

Reading is the first step in this three-step structure.

Reading is a fantastic way to fill your mind with new ideas,

to learn new vocabulary, rich vocabulary,

good structure, good sentence structure and structure of ideas as well.

And it's essential if you want to learn how to organize your thoughts better

because you can learn how other people organize their ideas and organize their thoughts.

So every time you read a book,

whether it's fiction or nonfiction,

you expose yourself to all of these things.

There is no way that you could come up with all of this rich vocabulary or good structure on your own.

And why would you?

It's not necessary when you can learn from other people who have gone through this process to write those fantastic books.

The way I see it is books are really a gateway into the world of organized thoughts and good structure.

I mean, think of how long it takes somebody to write a book.

How many revisions do they do?

How many other people are involved in the process to improve on their ideas or improve on their structure?

There is a lot of time,

money and effort put into writing books,

you can leverage this and use this final product to enrich your mind with rich vocabulary,

with good structure and with organized thoughts.

You can basically learn from these high level authors or from the high level work that other people have created.

Now, what kinds of books should you read?

Well, you've probably guessed I'm not talking about comic books,

I'm not talking about children's books.

The kinds of books I recommend you to read are nonfiction or also fiction books,

biographies, classical literature, books about historical events,

business books, or literary fiction.

All of these are the types of books

that have had a lot of work put into them

that are using a level of vocabulary and structure that you probably want to aim for.

Since you are working to become a leader,

you probably want to sound more intelligent and sound more structured and organized as you speak.

These are the kinds of books that you can use to draw those ideas from

and to get the vocabulary from as well.

I do encourage you to read books that you don't normally read.

This will help to expose you to new ideas,

new ways of thinking, new ways of structuring your ideas as well.

So if you normally read biographies,

then maybe opt for books about historical events.

Or maybe if you read business books a lot,

you can learn a lot by reading classical literature.

How often should you read?

This is a question I get asked quite a lot.

I recommend you read five to 10 pages every day.

The way I do it is over breakfast.

Generally, as I am eating my breakfast,

I have a book beside me instead of my phone,

instead of Instagram, I have a book beside me and I am reading the book,

book going through the pages of the book as I eat my breakfast.

As to when you read,

it's really up to you how you like to fit it into your daily schedule,

but I recommend you read five to ten pages every day.

This way you are filling your mind with new vocabulary,

with good sentence structure and new ideas as well.

You're probably wondering if I have any recommendations for you as to what books you should read.

This is definitely a question I'm going to be getting once you are at this point in the YouTube video.

So I wanted to share with you this one book,

which is one of my favourite books to read.

It's called Profiles in Courage by John F.

Kennedy.

I will put some information about it in the description below.

It's an old book.

It was written in 1965 in a very classical style of English like people used to write back then.

I absolutely love the way people used to write books during that time or even prior to the 1960s.

I find it so intelligent,

the vocabulary used is so rich,

the phrases that are used.

One of the phrases in this book that I came across

and I absolutely love and I thought was so intelligent was independent courage,

the phrase independent courage.

100

So there's many more phrases like that in this book.

101

There's many more things you can learn in this book.

102

It's an extremely, this particular one I got is extremely old.

103

I picked it up in a second hand store.

104

If I were to flick through the pages,

105

you can probably see that all of the pages have actually started to dislodge from the spine.

106

They're coming out, So I have to be really careful with this book.

107

But Profiles in Courage by John F.

108

Kennedy is a really good book that I would recommend you to read.

109

If you wanted to start getting into reading books with a higher level of vocabulary,

110

definitely opt for the ones that were published a long time ago.

111

So even in the early 1900s,

112

the way they used to write back then,

113

the way they used to organize their thoughts back then,

114

the vocabulary they used back then was at another level.

115

You hardly even see that nowadays in the books that are published.

116

So I highly recommend this one or any other topic

117

that was written around that time or before that time to help yourself,

118

enrich yourself with the vocabulary,

119

the sentence structure to really organize your thoughts better.

120

So reading is definitely the first step that you need to fill your mind,

121

to fill your subconscious with the tools,

122

with the vocabulary, with the ideas and the structure that you need to move on to the second step,

123

which we're going to talk about right now.

124

Writing is the second step in this three-step sequence.

125

And this is a fantastic way to help you organize your thoughts better,

126

get it on paper, so can actually see whether the thoughts you have in your mind are truly organized or not.

127

It also helps you to identify your thoughts.

128

So sometimes when you have those thoughts in your mind, they're all muddled.

129

It's hard to identify clearly what those thoughts are.

130

Writing is one of the best ways you can get clear on those thoughts and identify them too.

131

As I mentioned at the beginning of this video,

132

our speech is a reflection of our thinking.

133

So we first need to get our thoughts organized.

134

And we do this by writing before we actually jump into speaking,

135

which is the next step we'll talk about in a couple of moments.

136

When you don't do this,

137

this is what leads to muddled communication.

138

When you have those muddled thoughts in your mind,

139

and then you go from those muddled thoughts straight to speaking,

140

that's what leads to muddled speaking and not being able to articulate your thoughts clearly or communicate them well.

141

Basically what writing does is it allows you to take the time to organize your thoughts well.

142

It allows you to draw them from your mind,

143

to put them on paper and to see whether they are organized or not and whether they're good thoughts or not.

144

You can put those thoughts in order,

145

you can organize them and you can eliminate thoughts that aren't important or that don't add anything to the discussion.

146

If you feel that you don't make sense when you speak?

147

Well, it's probably because you haven't spent the time organizing your thoughts like you do through this writing process.

148

You've just jumped straight into speaking without organizing them first.

149

And that is what has led to muddled communication and you not making sense.

150

I want you to get into the habit of writing your thoughts.

151

Now, how do you do this?

152

Well, it should be something that you do every day,

153

just like reading, part of your everyday routine.

154

And it's something that can directly follow your reading schedule.

155

You can do journal writing,

156

you can do formal writing,

157

whatever type of writing suits you better.

158

I recommend you write one page every day.

159

So reading is five to 10 pages every day.

160

But writing, because it takes more time,

161

you are allowed to pause,

162

you're allowed to organize your thoughts a lot more,

163

write one page per day.

164

I usually do my writing in a book much like this.

165

It is just a plain notebook.

166

I'll open it up.

167

The pages are plain.

168

There is no lines whatsoever in this book.

169

And I find that this works much better for me to not have lines drawn on the page.

170

I find that when I am working or writing with lines,

171

it limits my thinking in a way.

172

It prevents me from thinking freely, from writing freely.

173

So I like to have the space

174

and the opportunity on a blank page like this to just scribble down my thoughts

175

and write them in a more coherent way.

176

What can you write about?

177

So that's no doubt your next question.

178

You have this book.

179

What do you actually write about?

180

Well, you can reflect on the past.

181

So think of things that have happened yesterday, last week, last month.

182

Perhaps there were fears you faced,

183

conversations you had with people,

184

challenges you faced, achievements you made,

185

your desires, goals that you're working towards,

186

goals that you have achieved,

187

disagreements you had with someone or agreements you had with someone.

188

There are a number of things you can use as inspiration for your writing.

189

As well as reflecting on the past,

190

you can also look to the future.

191

You can write about your future goals,

192

your future dreams, your desires,

193

conversations you want to have with people.

194

And this is a fantastic point for people who are looking to communicate more assertively.

195

If you have a conversation you need to have with someone that's an assertive conversation,

196

you're a bit nervous about that assertive conversation,

197

you can write the conversation down using your journaling,

198

your morning journaling that you do.

199

If you're going for a job interview,

200

you can use it for exactly the same thing as well.

201

So there are a number of things that you can write about.

202

It's really just about you deciding on what the subject is,

203

what the topic is that you want to write about.

204

And this is where you can start to get creative.

205

But this process, when it's done on a daily basis,

206

it will definitely help you to organize your thoughts,

207

to structure them better and help you communicate them more clearly as well.

208

How long will this whole process take?

209

How long will it take you to start seeing an improvement in the way that you communicate?

210

Well, I would recommend you wait for a couple of weeks at least.

211

I think it takes most people two weeks to start to see improvement in their communication.

212

So remember, it's a whole process that you have to go through and you're basically retraining your brain.

213

You're retraining the way that you think about things,

214

the way you have your thoughts in your mind,

215

the way you structure them them and the way that they come out as well when you communicate.

216

And the way you notice whether you are improving with your thoughts

217

and articulating them better is if you start to feel less and less that you are communicating in a muddled way.

218

If you start to feel more and more

219

that you are clearer with your communication

220

and you're also noticing through the reactions of other people that they're really understanding what you're saying.

221

So look out for these signs,

222

the way you feel, the way the other person reacts to detect

223

and understand whether you're starting to see an improvement with your own communication.

224

And the third step in this sequence is to speak.

225

So we have filled your mind with rich vocabulary,

226

with good structure, with new ideas through step one, where you read.

227

Then we have transferred all of that knowledge and all of that intelligence onto paper through the process of writing.

228

And through the process of writing,

229

you have started to organize your thoughts better,

230

identify good ideas, reject bad ideas as well.

231

This has led to clearer thoughts in your mind, leading to clearer communication.

232

So the next step in this process is to actually speak.

233

And this is where you move your thoughts from your mind,

234

from paper, out into the world in conversations with people you interact with.

235

This is your ultimate goal.

236

This is the whole purpose of this three-step process,

237

to speak clearly, to articulate your thoughts well,

238

and to communicate clearly to the other person.

239

One of the things I've noticed about people who speak very well,

240

who can articulate their thoughts very clearly is that they've been trained to do it.

241

Now, sometimes this training happens formally.

242

They might go to a school where they learn how to do it.

243

But most of the time it happens informally.

244

It happens through their upbringing,

245

through their family background, through the education that they get.

246

A lot of those people are exposed to debates,

247

to people who have fantastic communication skills.

248

They get involved in those conversations with those people and through the way they communicate,

249

they can learn from those people.

250

They learn the vocabulary.

251

They learn how to communicate their thoughts.

252

They learn how to argue points.

253

There are many families in this world,

254

every night over dinner, they regularly have rich conversations.

255

They have deep conversations, whether it's about politics, about music, about history.

256

They debate a lot their ideas.

257

And through this process, if you do it every night,

258

it's normal that they would naturally develop really good communication skills over time.

259

They're being exposed to people who are good communicators.

260

They themselves are picking up all of these skills,

261

all of these tools, and they are bringing them to their conversations in the world as well.

262

They learn how to have intelligent debates with people.

263

They know how to argue their point.

264

They know how to speak in a persuasive way.

265

They know how to influence people or influence their ideas.

266

They know how to explain complicated concepts because they've had experience and training in doing this.

267

Through practicing speaking, these people can gain invaluable skills in communication,

268

in all types of communication and communicating with all types of people as well.

269

But not everyone has this same upbringing.

270

Not everybody is exposed every night at the dinner table to

271

intelligent debates where they're listening to people argue their point and where they have a chance to argue their point as well.

272

Not everyone is exposed to this growing up.

273

I certainly wasn't.

274

I will admit that to you.

275

I was not in a family where we had these kinds of conversations at the dinner table.

276

So I didn't learn how to do this through my family upbringing as well.

277

The strategy I used is reading,

278

it's writing, and it's finally speaking,

279

just like I'm teaching you in this video.

280

So we've been through the process of what to do for the reading,

281

what to do for writing.

282

Now, how do you practice speaking?

283

If you don't have access to this type of family environment that I just described to you,

284

how do you actually practice speaking?

285

Well, I'm going to share with you and activity on exactly how you can do that.

286

I want you to choose someone you feel comfortable with.

287

It could be a work colleague,

288

it could be a friend in your personal life or your partner,

289

somebody you feel comfortable with.

290

And I want you to speak to that person for five minutes straight.

291

It's an impromptu style speaking for five minutes straight about a topic that is important to you.

292

So it could be the same topic that you wrote about in your journaling stage.

293

You could have that morning written about a certain topic and you would like to tell the person,

294

your conversation partner about that topic.

295

So you could choose that.

296

It could be about a conversation you recently had with somebody.

297

It could be an experience you recently had,

298

a challenge you recently faced.

299

The topic you choose is really up to you.

300

But if you find it hard to choose a topic to talk about,

301

then I recommend you choose the same topic you wrote about that morning in your journal.

302

You can write out your thoughts in your journal,

303

how you are going to discuss them,

304

how you are going to present them to your conversation partner.

305

You can do all of that organization and all of that planning in the second step when you write.

306

Remember, we need organized thoughts to have clear communication and to articulate well.

307

So you can organize your thoughts when you write then

308

when you speak you can follow the structure the exact structure

309

that you wrote about that morning

310

when you do this on a regular basis it will help

311

you to organize your thoughts it will help you to master how to communicate them clearly

312

and how to articulate them well i do have another video

313

on my channel about how to be more articulate i'll put a card on the screen above

314

so you can check it out once you finish watching this video.

315

In that video, I share nine tips on how to be more articulate and communicate clearly as well.

316

We have gone through a lot of content in this video.

317

I would love to know how all of these ideas and this three-step process works for you.

318

Once you've tried out this three-step process,

319

please let me know in the comments.

320

Jump back to the channel and let me know in the comments how it has worked for you.

321

Have you seen an improvement in your communication?

322

Have you noticed other people are reacting differently?

323

Or maybe they're even commenting that you sound a lot more articulate and a lot clearer when you speak.

324

Let me know in the comments the benefits that you see.

325

Thank you so much for watching and I'll be back next week with another video.
