Full Show Notes

During the more than 27 years that he has been turning the art of communications into the science of remarkable results, Bart has embraced a unique training approach. This approach helps people transform their communications skills so that they can experience remarkable work success, and more meaningful relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.

Bart shares the story of how he fell in love with communication and helping people develop the skills to be remarkable.

“I have just learned out of my experience that people find their purpose really at two major buckets, they either find it out of their passion, something that they just love and they want to go do, or they find it out of their pain.” – Bart Queen

“Our ability to communicate both spoken and written are the two things that will separate you out from everyone else.” – Bart Queen

Bart shares three areas he is constantly trying to get people to think about during presentations:

  • It’s a conversation, not a presentation
  • Focus on connection
  • When you have a connection you will feel more confident
The idea of learning to be a good communicator is a lifetime journey. Within that journey there are certain skills you need to develop:
  • body language/delivery mechanics
  • build your command presence
  • reduce the distractions for your audience
  • promote your sense of authority and balance that with your sense of presence
  • the length of your sentence (look for sound bytes)
The average person listens for 4 seconds. So the most important part of your message is the beginning and the end.
The highest goal of communication at 100,000 feet is about three goals
  • How do I build trust with my listener?
  • How do I build a relationship with them?
  • How do I keep them engaged?
