Course Description
Most professionals don't have a communication problem — they have a communication system problem.
They're using the patterns they picked up by accident, often as kids, and those patterns have been quietly limiting their career for years. Sentences that trail off. Apologies that weren't needed. The meeting comment they wanted to make but didn't. The email tone that got misread.
This course is the system. Not personality change, not "be more extroverted" — a deliberate, learnable set of skills for speaking, listening, and influencing the way professionals at the top of their fields do.

Very engaging, easy to watch and listen. Love the idea of different background & scenery! The pace is good and clear to understand. Very practical hints and real life scenarios. The content makes you excited about what's coming next!

Jimmy did a wonderful job. He combined his personal experiences and knowledge in a refreshing manner while maintaining the messages which were delivered spot-on. Thank you for the course. E.Z.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience. The emphasis you have made in the irrelevancy of comparing with others is just pretty convincing, it did reach me in a deep level. The final phrase, "this is the foundation of a good communication", is just a fundamental truth, many thanks

I appreciate your video with wonderful nature background, but i think it didn't help me to learn better. It's totally distracting and didn't support your materials. It would be better if you show some texts, points, pictures, or any else to visualize your learning. Because if we just only hear your voice it's really boring. I'm sorry but this course doesn't meet my expectation. It's kinda boring and not really practical.
By Keith LeClair on 6/19/2024
Jimmy's idea of filming yourself is an excellent idea to improve communication and self-awareness. In the last course I took of him he had this video in it as well but this time I actually filmed myself with questions meant to build self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-understanding. I believe I need to start making this regular practice.

Jimmy is an excellent instructor. Very easy to understand, good energy, doesn't read off of notes, and very natural in his delivery. The scenic locations also adds an extra touch of intrigue and, strangely enough, keeps you more focused. I enjoy there being no text on the screen, only Jimmy. It really forces you to pay attention and actively listen to what he's saying. The content in this course was very valuable. I found that some of the content can be "obvious" in your day to day but having it called out in a course reminds you of why they are successful communication skills. I will be taking another course by Jimmy!

too slow streaming even in faster data/network.

Very impressive, I liked your style of training on practical communication skills. You are on the right track, this way will not only impress me or anyone, but also make one achieve perfect training. Thank you very much.

I appreciated the fact that this was not only about "superficial" communication basic tips, but also dealing with philosophical concepts, as well as psychological well being. This was not about teaching us to fake confidence, but to actually conquer and earn it slowly but surely, until the most relevant advice that remains can simply be "fear not, and be yourself".
By Fatima Hortizano on 8/22/2023
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing lesson. As someone who loves to learn, your incredible background is truly inspiring. You are the first person here on Udemy who is doing this. Thank you for also considering how to keep learners engaged and not get bored. Thanks again, and I wish you a wonderful and blessed day.
