1. To be understood, not heard. Speak with the purpose of understanding and feeling not just hearing.
2. Don’t be verbose, try to explain with minimal words in a simple manner because it’s about your audience.
3. Einstein said try to explain most complex things in a simple manner. Act like that
4. Be an active listener. Try to include questions in your communication
5. Save energy, save words, save emotion, save relations.
6. Try to identify what you speak to whom. Understand your audience.
7.Your actions nullify or promote what you preach. So, it’s important to have a good reputation. Your words fall flat if audience has no trust in you.

Apologies if anything is missing.

Humility is key to effective communication.
1. You can always be wrong.
2. It is not about you, it's about your audience.

Listening to this speech was so emotional for me because I was guilty for doing most of the things he said donot do. This was an eye opener for me. I need to take effective communication classes asap. Thank you!

Even though, I'm a non native English speaker, I'm can hear clearly every single word and understand everything he says.

He has a great articulation 🎉

[yuvarajbadiger]

Yes, it wasn't all about communication itself. Great that you pointed out that, our actions will either promote or nullify our words... Very true!

[georgew.]

I had to practice this on the phone yesterday afternoon. I had to explain that I didn’t receive what I needed. And I had to clearly explain to the other person what it was I actually needed.
