Speaking With Confidence · How Asking Questions Builds True Communication Confidence · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Now, the average thinking speed of a human is over 900 words per minute.

If you're really hot and excited and mad about something, that can jump up to twelve hundred words per minute running through your mind.

And so I want you to slow down more, pause more, think before you speak, because you've got twelve hundred words per minute running around in your brain up here, and you only have 140 words that you can get out at in any given minute.

So make those words that you do speak count.

Think about what you want to say.

Don't just go with the gut instinct all the time.

Because good communication, while yes, again, you may disagree with the person, yes, it may feel morally wrong for you to even be in that conversation.

But for you to put thought and effort into how you respond to that person.

That can help bridge

The divide, the gap that exists between you and that person in a way that you can actually begin to drive some effective change.

So pause.

Think more often about what you say and have more of those things that you do think be questions rather than statements.

Those would be the two major things, Tim.

My website is the hub of everything that I do, Tim.

It's Michaelashford.com.

Articles, newsletter, podcast, coaching information, it's all there.

Uh much appreciate you you having me on for this conversation.

I just I geek out about this stuff if you can't tell.

So uh and and would love if anybody's listening, would love to geek out with them as bad uh with them as well.

So thank you so much.
