   One of the most unique qualities of an influential leader is their ability to communicate. Throughout time, a leader's knack to communicate has led armies, countries and movements. Some of the best speeches ever made came from the best communicators the world has seen.

   Although it may seem that this quality is something that you're born with, the truth is quite the opposite. The best communicators had to learn and practice to become the way they were. 

   Just like any other skill out there, knowledge of how the skill works and correctly practicing will lead to massive improvements, if not mastery of the subject. Below are 3 ways to learn and practice what you need to know to become a better communicator.

  • Listen - The best communicators don't talk as much as you think. Elizabeth Palermo writes about this in a Business News Daily Article. What you don't say might be the most important part of the conversation. You were born with 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. Listen to your audience and connect with what their needs are. 
  • Simplify The Complex - Inspired by a Forbes Article from Susan Tardanico, being able to simplify things in this complex world is paramount. Communicators can take the jumble of ideas and strategies, break it down, and provide simple solutions for people to understand.

   There are so many rules, steps and ways you can utilize to become an excellent communicator. These 3 practices give you the most essential communicative qualities while offering stimulation for your mind. 

   If you're having trouble communicating, I urge you to try these out. Growth is induced through change and dedication. Post a comment if these ways work for you.
