Communicate Like A Rockstar with Brenden Kumarasamy
Nov 16, 2022 Episode 88
Heather Frederick, PhD

As the founder of MasterTalk, Brenden  Kumarasamy coaches individuals to become the top communicators in their field. He also has a popular YouTube channel called MasterTalk, with the goal of providing free access to communication tools for everyone in the world. And today he shares tips that will help you become a rockstar communicator. 

Tips

·      The fear of communication comes from a lifetime of mandatory presenting, giving talks on things that don’t interest you, and being in a situation where how you present is punishable!

·      The nature of doctoral research and writing can backfire when it comes to effective communication

·      Adopt a mindset of effort not perfection (just do the little actions without comparing yourself to others)

·      Communication is the medium through which we move through the world; it may be the most important thing you do to increase your impact in the world

·      Communication is like juggling 18 balls – let’s focus on 3 in this episode

o   Random Word Exercise – Take 5 minutes, pick a random word and go for it. This will help you think on your feet and force you to get out of your comfort zone

o   Question Drill – Rather than being reactive, be proactive and take 5 minutes and practice questions that people might ask you about your topic area

o   Make a list of the people you love the most in your life and send them a 20-second video message about why you are grateful for them and the impact they are making in your life (remember, communication is not a chore, it is how you give value to others)w

·      If you shower, you have time to try these tips – they take about as long as a shower 

·      Take the complex and make it simple through effective communication 

“Be insane or be the same.”
