Why you are boring - (and what to do about it)

The secret to cultivating a captivating presence, influencing people and kicking ass in life.

The secret no one wants to tell you


When you are talking to people do they ever suddenly get a glazed look in their eye as they stare off in to the distance?

Do they suddenly reach for their phone and start scrolling TikTok?

Or do you ever get the sense that they just don’t want to pay attention or listen?

You are missing out on life

Chances are that they are very bored - and that YOU are boring them.

If you are like most people, then your communication style is simply not effective.

Missing this crucial skill will completely sabotage your life.

Think of all the missed relationships, friendships and business deals - opportunities that will never come again!

How I started out

Growing up I loved playing computer games and I was very good at it, but when it came to socializing I was completely clueless.

I mostly stayed away from others retreating to my room with the safety of a computer screen between me and other people.

But something felt very wrong, like a silent gnawing eating away my soul. Each day I was dying a bit inside.

One day one of my best friends Noah told me that I should try improv theater.

Noah had used to be a nerd like me, but he had turned his life around and was now leading workshops - charismatically as a coach and teacher.

My self improvement journey and what I learned

I trusted his advice more than anyone else and I made a decision that I would work on my social skills - no matter what.

I moved to Stockholm and enrolled in 3 improv theater courses, and also started public speaking and dancing all at once.

I was terrible and each day I struggled. My legs would shake and I would sometimes freeze on stage - unable to speak.

But I kept going and each day I learned and got a little bit better.

It was in the public speaking class that I first met Samuel. He was an opera singer who also did public speaking. This is when I first started learning about the power of the voice.

Samuel could spellbind and captivate a room with his voice alone - it didn’t matter what he said. It all sounded good.

Years later I had done countless acting courses and performances. I had worked myself up to be an acting teacher and I was also in acting school.

Our director told us that the voice is one of the most important instruments of an actor and that you must practice it every day.

I still didn’t listen.

How I finally started improving

It was not until my voice completely failed me and I was unable to speak that I finally decided that I had to take action and work on my voice.

I started going to a voice trainer, started singing at home and joined online voice calls to practice regularly.

Day by day my voice got stronger, more powerful and resonant. Leading groups and capturing their attention became easier.

People started listening and became more interested in what I had to say.

The reason I am telling you this is so you DON’T DO WHAT I DID.

Don’t wait until you have a full blown life crisis to finally work on your voice - and become the most charismatic version of yourself.
