STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS

You can outperform your own limitations by building into others who are more gifted.
Thinking—uniquely and deeply—can be a powerful expression of leadership.
If you wake up each day with a sense of intention, that makes you rare. If you have any level of passion, it separates you from everyone else.
The frequency at which you communicate will overpower the information you are trying share.
A “shadow frequency” emerges when you are trying to communicate in order to get something from someone, rather than to give them something.
Be authentic—don’t be afraid to bring your true self into the room.
Though you may have a core frequency that is natural to you, all the other frequencies are in you as well. Effective communicators usually use 2-3 different ones.
The frequencies work on the interpersonal level as well, not just for public speaking.
There is tremendous power in learning to listen. You can learn to hear the frequencies of the listeners in a room.
If you can learn to communicate effectively, whether at work or at home, you can remove every potential ceiling from your life, and also learn to unlock the potential in others.
