Focus on people who are receptively listening to you. Stay with one person long enough to watch your words land on their face, for you to see the connection occur between you. Allowing yourself to stay still with one person at a time says without words, “I see you, I hear you, I am with you”.

Actions do “speak louder than words”. We watch movement before we process word meaning. Make sure the messages your body sends to your audience are congruent with your verbal message.

I understand the driving urge to race upstream toward the finish line, but I advise you to take the scenic route instead. Speaking in public is about giving and receiving on both sides. Make it feel like a conversation, not a 60 second download.

This will straighten your spine, open your abdomen, chest, shoulders, throat and face. People interpret this open posture as confident, capable and approachable and will listen to you, figuring if you believe in you, there’s a good chance they will too.

It covers every kind of speaking and connecting situation you have with other human beings.
