u|A - 3 Tips to Improve Your Communication Skills
Episode Title: 3 Tips to Improve Your Communication Skills
In this debut episode of Untamed Academy, Mariano Alvarez sets the stage for sharpening your skills and mastering the craft of dog training. Communication is a critical tool for every trainer, but it can be challenging to master—whether you're speaking to a group in a class or engaging one-on-one with a client.
Mariano dives into the top three tips to elevate your communication skills:
- Be Confident: Learn why confidence is key in building trust, how to align your tone and body language with your words, and when to use your “teaching voice” for maximum impact.
- Be Clear: Discover the importance of concise language, relatable explanations, and creating space for meaningful dialogue with your audience.
- Be Creative: Explore ways to tailor your explanations, use storytelling and analogies, and leverage simple visual aids to make complex concepts stick.
By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to become a more effective communicator in any setting.
