I can’t say that I’ve been completely visual in my approach with creating content. But that’s not to say I haven’t been communicating either. Actually, a great majority of what I’ve done is text you. Whether it was putting together a super complex caption on Instagram, occasional tweet, thread, or even Facebook message. I’ll send that text out for sure.

Why are you texting me?

Chill out! I’m only doing this to hopefully gain feedback on if my style is really snappy, conversational, and easier to read. It’s important for me to uphold these qualities because it’ll enhance my ability to create and preserve relationships that I’ll want to pursue. You’d get it even more if you were to hold yourself to the same timetable that I enforce to keep myself on track with career focuses.

Adapting The Style Became Mandatory

Adapting your style feels hard. There’s times when you’re so stuck in your ways to the point nothing else feels even close to what you’re supposed to be doing. You literally have to make changes. As nice it sounds to do when you’re at a political event, or hearing a politician speak as if they already got the answer to a problem they’re already experiencing, it’s not something many can do.

I’m here to let you know it’s worth figuring out how to do because it keeps you in whatever you’re doing. Sometimes that’s not even the issue with you. You might even have goals of separating yourself from a certain pool of competition. This might be the point where you realize that modifying your style is absolutely needed.

Adapting and trying new styles is dependent on a few different factors. I’ve experienced this through networking and connecting with new people. My subordinates, and even leaders were great enough to do more than expected in their position and seeked out new things that would be ideal fits for me individually. That’s only giving out the new styles though, actually incorporating it takes learning how to build and even destroy some habits as you discover them. I personally can recall a moment where I had learned the best method of adapting styles in extra curricular activities. They ended up influencing my academic career and even fashion surprisingly. I believe that’s the case because attitude is one of the most internal things that could be sculpted, and with that, it influences plenty of what defines you externally.

Keeping Things Snappy

It’s a tough call to realize at least in real time whether you’re someone that keeps things snappy. I’ve literally been told before that I can yap, but I swear a large majority of what I’m saying has gems spread all throughout it. That doesn’t change the fact that being faster with the point wouldn’t be helpful. I actually got to the point where I’m for sure that I’m at a much faster pace than a good majority of the people I talk to because they’ll like what I consider to be the most minuscule part of what I have to say, but they’ll also miss what I’m thinking is the more important parts. Maybe that’s narcissistic in a way, but I’ll take that title if need be.

Practicing Conversational Skills

I practice talking in several different capacities because I see myself doing plenty of it at some point in the future. It manifests in the form of making videos where I’m directly talking to the camera. Sometimes it’s when I’m recording my vocals on top of an instrumental. Talking to a mirror that’s not actually recording me doesn’t feel to actually work. And that doesn’t even really make sense to me in explanation, but it’s how I feel. That’s not to say it wouldn’t work for someone else though.

If you wanna increase your conversational skills through the assistance of a singular thing because you’re not sure of where to start exactly, I would easily recommend sharing more selected personals that you feel some type of way about. My logic behind that is: you’re gonna be much more ecstatic and vocally superior when explaining something you deeply care about.

Easy To Read

I really try to look at myself as like any classic book. Now I won’t lie and put on a facade as if I’m someone that reads a ton of books, but going to school absolutely got me hip to some of the classics in terms of literature. I’ve focused more on trying my best to embody qualities that mirror the best things that make up books we were forced to read:

• To Kill a Mockingbird
• The Bluest Eye
• Great Gatsby
• 1984

The list goes on. My point with referencing these novels is what the task of reading them really meant. We were meant to experience these titles at least once to truly mold our worldview moving into young adulthood. If I become that type of person, that makes me uber important and relevant in society. That’s not to say that should be a main goal, but if you’re early in your career and see growth as being one of the objectives, this might be a great mindset to adopt yourself.
