Speak with Confidence!

Focus fully on the speaker. Nod, maintain eye contact, and avoid interrupting.

Cut filler words ("um," "like"). Use short sentences. Get straight to the point.

Smile naturally, uncross arms, and mirror gestures. 55% of communication is visual!

Use open-ended questions:"What inspired you to...?" "How did that feel?"

Acknowledge emotions first: "I understand this is challenging..."

Rehearse tough conversations alone. Record voice notes. Join a local Toastmasters club.
