Lessons I'm learning on living intentionally, communicating clearly, and creating sustainably.

    Stop Saying These Words. They're Hurting Your Credibility.

    Read Time: 1 Minute

    I notice it in every speaking workshop I teach. Smart professionals open their mouths to speak and it starts: "Um... uh... like..."

    It's painful. The moment these filler words slip out, you feel like you've lost your audience's attention.

    You feel like people aren't understanding you. These words muddle your message.

    So I coach people to do these four things. You need 10 minutes per day for 2 straight weeks:

    • The "Period Technique." -- 2:16
    • The Narration Game. -- 3:23
    • Tell three types of immersive stories. -- 5:25
    • Chunk your sentence. -- 8:04

    Have a great day.
