Climb To The Top: Taking Your Career To New Heights

Our CEO and Founder, Jessica Chen, recently hosted a Soulcast Media Event on LinkedIn, where she interviewed Chuck Garcia, Leadership Communications Coach, Author, and CEO. They shared tips and personal stories about taking your career to new heights.

Here are the takeaways for VIP Comm Pass members:

• We live in a world where people talk fast, say too much, and speak too long. This can lead to information overload and listening fatigue. We are comprehending less than what is intended.
• Pausing can give the listener time to catch up to what is being said. Slowing down and avoiding filler words makes your communications much clearer.
• The rule of three - information that is presented in clusters of three, is better remembered by the mind of the listener. 
• Just because you can speak, you can communicate. Communication is a skill. You have to work and practice to become a better communicator.
• Emotional intelligence encompasses four distinct domains: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and managing others.
• Emotional intelligence helps you learn how to stay calm when other people are pushing your buttons. 
• As humans, we are driven by our emotions.
• The CTR factor is credibility, trust, and respect.
• You can enhance your CTR factor by exhibiting good behavior, treating people with respect, and delivering on your commitments. 
• The disease to please is when you walk into a room and you want to make everyone happy.
• There are three kinds of people in the world: givers, takers, and matchers. 
• It's essential to learn how to stand up for yourself, as it's a form of self-respect.
• When you feel you are being taken advantage of, you first need to calm your mind. Then, you can put your hands together in the prayer pose and take a step back to try to remove yourself from the person who is trying to take advantage of you.
• In moments of stress and anxiety, the way you breathe can help calm your mind, allowing you to react the way you want to.
• We seek first to understand and then to be understood.
• Never be afraid to make a mistake, but be afraid of not learning from it. 
• Underpromise and overdeliver.
• Be present in every human interaction.
