Today, Elrod is one of the highest-rated keynote speakers in America. He attributes his success to something he learned when he was at his lowest back in 2008 – something he writes about in his bestselling book, The Miracle Morning .

70% of effective communication is active listening

Being genuinely curious about the person you speak to makes you more magnetic. The root of this genuine curiosity is empathy. Humans have an innate need to belong with each other.

If you prove your point, you might feel good but you don't gain anything out of the conversation.
