Communication Insights from Dave Jackson

Ever since I started podcasting, I’ve been listening to Dave Jackon and his School of Podcasting. Dave has been podcasting since 2005 and he was inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame in 2018. He is the author of “Profit from Your Podcast,” and he has launched over 30 different podcasts with over 4 million downloads.

Dave Jackson is a pro!   

A few months ago, I had the honour of being a guest expert on The School of Podcasting episode #765 focused on Personal Branding for Podcasters.

It occurred to me that Dave might have a few things to share with us about COMMUNICATION SKILLS.  So in this week’s episode, you’ll hear my interview of Dave!

Read on to learn:

• 3 important communication insights for ALL of us
• what a 🚌 bus has to do with communication skills
• who Dave emulates when he walks out on stage, and his mantra…🎸🎸

Let’s do this!

3 Communication Insights from Dave Jackson for ALL OF US!

1). TELL US WHERE YOU’RE HEADED 

• Whether you’re running a meeting, giving a speech, or hosting a podcast episode, start by telling your audience why they’re there. Start with the punch line.

2). STORYTELLING 

• When you share a little bit about yourself, your audience advances from knowing you, to liking you, to trusting you.

3).CONFIDENCE

• We all have imposter syndrome! (Yes, even Dave Jackson!)
• A few confidence hacks:
  • practice (!)
  • adopt a new mindset: remind yourself that you don’t have to be the world’s greatest expert  – you just have to know more than your audience!
  • act confident
  • emulate someone else’s confidence
  • adopt a mantra

Dave Jackson emulates David Lee Roth when he goes onstage,
and his mantra is “It’s Showtime!” 🎸🎸🎸

Thanks to Dave Jackson!
