Our current Autopilot is a result of haphazard experiences in our early lives. Consequently, our presentation, listening and speaking skills are kind of rubbish (!). We want to use what works, so on this page, we update our skills by adopting the truths of a few expert communicators. Watch each of these videos (taking some notes) until you have internalized the general lessons.
i.e. Take on board the knowledge they share as your own truth.
(please ignore the click-bait titles)

We start with being able to handle the difficult moments.
Expect yourself to be able to remain calm and avoid conflict from this day forward.
Vinh Giang
Brush up on 'what works' when speaking, and how far it is possible to grow. Perhaps join your local Toastmasters club to become comfortable speaking to groups. Leadership emerges here.
This is all an exhilarating growth journey.
Simon Sinek
Asking ourselves 'Why', brings us closer to our hearts, and closer to our purpose.
Simon Sinek with Lewis Howes
A great example of transcending one's own past. We can all identify with the felt pain of youth. Healing is our path to bliss.
Note that 'identity' can be a confusing term. Some use it referring to our default personality, others (me incl.) to our foundation of Love.
Robert Glover / Masculine Identity.
Understand the gender spectrum. Then reconsider your own thinking and behavior. Learn the ways of masculinity as supported by successful good men and women in the free world.
Dr John Izzo / Chris Williamson
Understand 'reverse charisma'. Charisma involves listening. It's your personal ability to make others feel open, safe and joyful.
Andrew Bustamante
Psychological Mechanics! This CIA teaching is used for manipulation, but it simply describes 'how to most quickly make friends'. In the real world, feel free to offer the background of your own life too :)
Congratulations!
If you are nicely on this path, you have become open to a life of bliss.
As someone who understands higher awareness, you are one of the most beautiful, clever, and powerful people in the world. You can comfortably chat with anyone (and be accepted), anywhere and anytime, as an equal. Everybody recognizes and cherishes calm, love and respect.
Note: it does not matter how long anyone has been 'on the path', because it only exists in the present moment. A person is either purposefully aware (generally) and knowingly free, or unaware, probably reactive and somewhat stuck.
