Put down the megaphone!
I had a busy October prepping clients for a wide variety of speeches. But one thing all these preparations had in common: we started by framing each speech as a conversation, no matter how formal the setting. Read about how and why in my latest blog.
Tips you can use!
Little word does big harm
"Just" and the words that often follow it ("I just wanted to see if you had time to look over...") need to be eliminated from your vocabulary. They dilute your intention and make you seem unsure. Get to the point. If you have a question, ask. If you have a statement, make it. Don't beat around the bush. Saves time, too!
You need to eat
Many folks right now are dieting in preparation for the Holiday FoodFest. And most of us could benefit from more awareness about what we're eating. But the truth is your brain needs glucose to work. If you get too hungry your thinking may become fuzzy or muddled and your communications will all suffer.
Practice may not make perfect, but. . .
It sure helps you feel more present, more connected, more in the moment. But you know this. So do it!
