So I would never say,

I'm really excited to be here.

No, I'd say I'm really excited.

So emphasize those words.

So the one thing we didn't talk about is how you say what you say, and we need to remember that.

And the single easiest way to work on this is to record yourself, either through voice memo or through video.

Really easy to do that these days.

As we become bombarded with more information, the ability to communicate clearly is critical for us to succeed. So yes, there's just a lot more information. It's important to be clear and concise and to really understand what's relevant for those you speak to.

Well, first and foremost, people are really anxious, especially in high-stakes speaking situations. So anxiety and learning to feel more confident is number one. And then number two, the big mistake people make is they just don't focus their messages, focus on their audience, make it concise, make it clear, interesting, and engaging.
