During this interactive course, we will answer all of your questions about this new style of communicating which includes all your actions. Also, you will receive supervised practice improving these new skills. You can enter at any time and stay as long as you want. You will notice measurable results within a few months.
The foundation of this new method of communicating and acting comes from Dave Ellis’s education in computer science and his 40 years of teaching (communicating) in an unusual manner. This breakthrough in communications is influenced by quantum physics and a new linguistic structure that builds on and goes beyond his seven books, which have been read and studied by millions.
When communicating and acting this way, you focus on what you can directly observe in others while practicing radical self-responsibility and moving beyond judgments. This emphasizes controlling only that which you can control (your actions) and surrendering to everything else (the past, the future, the behavior of others, and your judgments). You honor your emotions and thoughts while knowing that you cannot control either one of them.
For a more complete description of this way of communicating which eliminates all excuses and most upsets, read this website and the articles below, or attend an introductory class.
Our commitment is to you. We will assist you in figuring out what you want in your life and the actions that will move you to those results. That is in part of what is behind the name, Communicating To Results, Beyond Judgments To Actions.
The course income will not make us a profit. We want to cover some of our costs.
Our company, New Breakthroughs, LLC, makes money by selling products and services, not education. We got most of what we learned for free, and we give it for free.
Most people stop themselves from taking actions to get what they want by believing they have tried for years and being sure they can’t achieve it. In our course, in only a few months, we are confident you will create significant, measurable, and permanent results you never imagined possible.
This includes the death of a parent, spouse, or even a child. It also could be the loss of your money, your treasured possessions, or even close friends.
When dealing with loved ones as they near the end of their life, we can be at peace and assist them in a major transition. They might even be in hospice care, and everyone can accept and even celebrate their life.
This is particularly valuable as we face our own mortality and even when we know death is coming soon.
We often regret some of the big mistakes we have made in our lives. We can move to full self-forgiveness.
These mistakes include damaging your health, wealth, and important relationships.
Learn to communicate in many brand-new, almost radical ways so that your most important results are achieved quickly.
These can include traumatic events such as physical violence, sexual assault, and incest.
Alzheimer’s and other related cognitive struggles in those we love are challenging. You can develop new and effective ways to deal with and communicate with them. You can make peace with the disease.
This is specifically relevant if your children are causing you significant grief, exhibiting troubling behavior in school, or even having difficulties with the law.
In several months, you can be well on your way.
Many people have achieved it long before they are aware that they have reached that milestone.
After a few years, people often lose the romance. It can be rekindled within weeks with proper communication that includes way fewer words.
Thirty percent or more is easily achievable with new actions that increase your income and your profit while increasing the results you deliver to your clients.
If this list sounds too good to be true, and if you’ve continuing to read, you are already moving beyond skepticism. The next step is experimentation.
In this course, we ask you to test new suggestions, even if you don’t understand them or believe they will work.
We update these strategies often. Reread them frequently and practice them everyday.
Remember, we don’t have to understand a new tool (like a new car or a new phone) to use it. We don’t even need to like it or believe that it will work. Just experiment with it.
Get to “It’s OK”, Even though you don’t like it, don’t fight it. Never fight.
If you have trouble surrendering, start with the most life sustaining actions then move to the most sophisticated until you are past the fight.
•Breathe
•Smell
•Taste
•Swallow
•Vocalize
•Touch
•Listen
•Look
•Move (the rest of your body)
If you still have any fight left:
•Speak (not to person you are blaming)
•Write
All of the above actions are within our control and require practice to do them consciously.
Only then choose what you were doing, or:
•Breathe
•Smell
•Taste
•Swallow
•Vocalize
•Touch
•Listen
•Look
•Move (the rest of your body)
•Speak
•Write
Remember you are in control of all of those actions and nothing and no one else.
Questions are an outstanding way to learn anything. Ask others. Ask experts. Ask your Self out loud.
Eliminate questions that guide or even attempt to control the speaker instead of letting that person fully express themselves before they are complete.
Questions often contain advice disguised as curiosity. They can always be replaced by clear statements of desire. “I would like to know more.” Even when you are in need. “I’m curious where the bathroom is.”
How? Listen to Bill’s speaking about it.
As the book cover suggests, put most of your focus on present actions (rowing) and what is right in front of you (boulders and rapids).
put our attention on what we can control beginning with our most primal actions to the most sophisticated.
Listen well beyond words. Begin with their most primal actions to the most sophisticated.
Do it when you walk up stairs, walk in the park, nap, dream, rest, listen, . . .
Call it call stepeditation, walkeditation, moveditation, napeditation, dreameditation,. . .
Set a clear intention to clear your thoughts and discover something new about yourself or a new intention.
Then speak it and write it.
Conventional wisdom is to think before you speak. We are recommending, more often, just speak. If we discover we have said something we regret, we can speak some more. We can learn from the reaction of others when we talk.
If we are upset or confused, we speak but not to the people who we are blaming.
Speaking our thoughts slows down in our jumbled minds from over 2,000 words a minute to less than 200 words. For many people, when they are speaking thoughtfully, it is less than 100 words a minute.
Once we have reached clarity, write what was spoken to further clarify and reinforce it. Most of us, when we type carefully, use less than 50 words a minute, and when handwriting, down to about 20 a minute.
Our point of view fully influences how we see current events, family members, friends, and cultures that are not familiar to us.
One of the most damaging judgments that we can eliminate is labeling others or ourselves as the way it is. It reinforces the notion that change is difficult or even impossible.
“Labeling is disabling” is one of our favorite reminders from decades ago, and we now apply in a radical way to ourselves and others.
Such questions also drive us to being defensive. We do what we do, and we often can’t accurately explain or justify it.
If others ask this, answer with a variation of, “I talked it through and got clear that this was the action that would be most likely to produce the result I want.” Or, “There are so many reasons which I could try to explain, and I’m not really sure why I did/said it.”
When contemplating such choices, instead of asking yourself why, list the many possible costs and benefits of each choice. Also, create fewer binary choices by expanding your options from two to several.
The primary “reason” to not ask or answer why questions is that they perpetuate cause-and-effect linear thinking that reinforces an external locus of control inconsistent with radical self-responsibility (a word that has lots of i’s).
Those last nine paragraphs contain a thorough (and longer than any other strategy) explanation and answer to: “Why not ask so many why questions?”
Advice comes from the Old French avis and is singular. We say “I offer you advice.” This grammatical structure treats it as a single thing, not one of many. We don’t say “I offer you my advices.”
We can say, “I offer you my suggestions.” Even if we use the singular, as in “I offer you a suggestion”, the word suggestion is preceded by the indefinite article a, which implies that it is one of many. We can’t say or mean, “I offer you an advice.”
This is our advice, avoid the word advice. And know that is one of our many many pieces of advice or suggestions.
When two ideas are linked by but, separate them into two sentences. The but almost always negates or argues against the first part of the sentence.
The idea of communication is to reinforce our continued practice of surrendering to that over which we have no control.
These words qualify the two messages and usually create a false or single causation. They are also argumentative.
This echoes the title of the course. These communications reinforce in ourselves a lack of being fully responsible. People do it constantly, and it seldom changes the result. It halts our education and weakens the effect of our communication.
Excuses seldom matter. No matter what the reason, the car still crashed and the damage is done no matter how good our explanations.
We are often upset about something that is happening to people we do not even know or to people the people we know know.
This might be one of the more controversial suggestions. Sorry reinforces guilt about what has already occurred rather than learning from it. When some action doesn’t produce the results wanted, appreciate discovering that and plan more actions to get what you want.
This draws together a set of ideas I’ve developed and tested on myself for over 40 years. The physiology is not in dispute (see note). The specific claim that talking, singing, laughing, and crying share one underlying mechanism — a long exhale — isn’t new: it was argued in a British medical journal in 1897, and it’s well supported by current research on the vagus nerve (see note).
By David B. Ellis (1/20/26) A central distinction in action-focused speaking is the dramatic difference between the speed of human thinking and the speed of external expression. This distinction was first introduced in Becoming a Master Student and later refined through learning-through-action teaching and communicating. [1]. Human thinking operates at extraordinary speed.
Communicating To Results is a term coined in 2025 by educator and author David B. Ellis to describe a way of communicating that most directly influences outcomes in complex human systems. Although the name is recent, the work itself represents the integration of more than five decades of study, teaching, research, and applied inquiry into ways language, intentions, and actions influence results in what he calls Action Coaching.
This work focuses exclusively on what the individual communicator can actually control and surrendering everything else.
Surrender is defined as accepting, allowing, releasing, permitting, not fighting, and not resisting. It does not mean giving up or being passive. It means stopping the attempt to control what cannot be controlled.
All interactive instruction will be recorded for you to view, listen to, and participate in fully. Watch them with others and do the exercises along with the other participants.
The recordings are available for you to share.
Your level of participation is up to you. For years, we tried to manage and even control the way participants acted. That is a waste of our time and an insult to you.
We trust you to manage your time in a way that gives you the results that you want.
Nine months is a long time, longer than most people might dedicate to this practice.
No problem. We are confident you can get a lot of value in even half of the course. If we could tailor it to each individual participant, we would. You can.
No. We are charging you for the opportunity and the practice to learn these strategies. We are charging for this result: You significantly and permanently improve your communication and your life.
We are here for you – your goals, your agenda, your life.
Our focus is on your happiness, health, love, wealth, and contribution.
