137 - I Talk Too Fast - How To Slow Down
Manage episode 465001428 series 2835475
In this episode of Speaking with Confidence I’m answering a question from my community:
“How do I stop talking so fast when talking to someone in person?”
Talking fast isn’t always a bad thing, but when you’re nervous, anxious or trying to say ‘all the things’ in a limited amount of time we can talk too fast and drown our listeners in all the words.
Listen in to hear
- How to manage your nerves when speaking
- Why it’s important to focus on connection with your listeners, not just delivering your content
- My top tips for slowing down mid-conversation, when you realise you’ve sped up
- How to engage in a dialogue with your listeners, rather than just a hyper-speed monologue
- Why chatting with your own internal dialogue is a powerful strategy to slow down and connect with your listener.
Other episodes mentioned:
11 - How to overcome your nerves once and for all
74 - The Powerful Frame Your Thinking Method
