   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.

•  Take Improv Classes - Wait, really? Oh yeah. Improv classes get you out of your shell and teaches you how to create a story with your partner. As Professor Jeffrey Arterbum states in his paper on Communication and the Art of Improvisation, "Improv serves as a communicative method designed for spontaneously solving problems as they arise"

• 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.

Meditative Detox

   One of my favorite parts about the complex that I live in is the community room. It's a huge open room with a couple couches, a pool table, a small refrigerator, and a men's and women's bathroom. Inside the bathroom resides my daily spot for meditation. The sauna.

   Before living here, I had trouble getting into my meditation "zone". I have to find a quiet spot so I can filter and focus my million thoughts a second, and that's hard to find in Los Angeles. The way I used to get into my zone would be to shut the bedroom door, turn off the lights, turn up some calm music and lay on the bed. Even with all this orchestration, it took me some time to tune in. 

   The discovery of the sauna was a big delight for me. When I worked out at the gym, I always loved winding down in the sauna. It was a great way to detox and to loosen the muscles that I tightened from working out. Now, I have my very own sauna in the comfort of my own living area.

   After a few days of hitting the sauna, I realized how quiet and relaxing it was. The heat enveloped my body like a blanket, the sweat dripping down my body was freeing. One day I closed my eyes and BAM! I went right into my meditative "zone". I was able to completely focus on what I wanted to wholly for the first time. When I opened my eyes, 10 minutes already flew by!

   This is now my daily routine. I love the fact that I can detox and meditate at the same time. I feel healthier, more alive and motivated every time I step out of that sauna. If you're looking for a great place to find your "zone", try it here. Just remember not to stay in for longer than 15 minutes. Sweat on my friends!
