What Makes the “1% Elite” Communication Stand Out 1. Speak to lead—not to be liked

• Adopt a mindset of authority: “I am a leader,” even if you aren’t formally one yet.

• Avoid qualifiers like “I think” or “I feel”—they diminish your credibility. Instead, assertively state your ideas.

2. Stay logical and composed—don’t get emotional

• High emotion clouds judgment; think of yourself as a flexible blade of grass, not a fragile toothpick.

• Control your emotional reactions and base decisions on logic and data.

3. Speak with weight—make your words count

• Speak less, but with purpose. Enter every interaction clear on why you’re there and what you aim to achieve.

4. Master the art of asking questions

• You don’t need all the answers; leaders ask targeted, strategic questions to uncover insight and direction.

• Practice formulating probing questions, much like “untangling a necklace.”

5. Be concise—don’t overshare

• Overexplaining signals a lack of confidence. Stick to your message and deliver it succinctly and firmly.

• Mirror strong communicators in posture, tone, volume, and clarity.
