Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 195903" data-attributes="member: 36777">Just to add to [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]'s and [USER=38032]@jta227[/USER]'s great advice, one thing I did to improve my style of speaking has been to pay a lot more attention and to try to consciously control the pace of and the breaks in my speech. Simply including two or three well-placed pauses between points and by slowing your normal pace when articulating more complicated ideas will make you sound a lot more impactful - take a look at<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@evancarmichael/video/7393827176178650373" target="_blank"> this short clip </a>of Jim Donovan (one of the leading executives at Goldman Sachs) explaining and simultaneously illustrating the effectiveness of pauses. If you have the time, I would also advise you to watch his longer recorded lectures such as '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpUJfW4WTKw" target="_blank">Are you destined to deal?'</a>, it is an amazing example of what a less-flashy but extremely effective oral communication style looks like. Finally, to build up on one of Jessica's pointers, I have a friend who dealt with a similar issue, but he found that if I sat on the other side of the table while he was recording himself he would be able to act as if he was speaking to me and thus perform a lot better. It may sound unorthodox, but I would give it a try <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />!</blockquote>
