If you want to develop mastery with your communication skills, you must go through these 4 stages.

These are the 4 stages of learning which you can apply to any skill you develop, but in the context of your communication skills, it’s vital that you understand how you progress as you progress through these stages.

Stage 1 is unconscious incompetence where you don’t know what you don’t know when it comes to your communication skills.

Stage 2 is conscious incompetence where you are now aware of what you don’t know after you’ve watched some of my videos

Stage 3 is conscious competence where you’re working on your communication skills and you’re improving your weaknesses and understanding your strengths as a communicator. However you still have to consciously think about what you’re doing.

Stage 4 which most people never reach is the stage of mastery – where you no longer have to think about your communication skills, it’s just second nature the way you speak.

Reaching stage 4 does not happen overnight – but over time through a commitment to mastery and continuous practice.

One of the reasons I pursued keynote speaking is because I knew it would mean I would need to drastically improve my communication skills. But I was always baffled at how much speakers can get paid… (it is a very difficult, but lucrative career path) and one of my friends Mel Robbins shared with me the reason – “Vinh, the reason why speakers get paid that amount of money, is because the ability to communicate, inspire and move people is one of the most highly valued skillsets in the world. I want you to imagine… what if you learnt one of the most highly valued skillsets in the world, and you injected it into your professional and personal life… what would it do for you?
