Episode Summary

Ever been listening to someone in a meeting or giving a presentation and you can’t figure out what their point is, so you tune out? This happens all the time. Don’t let it happen to you. Communicating clearly takes intention, and a captivated audience is no happy accident! In today’s episode, I share three ways to communicate with clarity. These techniques will make a significant difference in how your message is received. Most importantly, you’ll captivate your audience so they remember you and your message. Start your journey to becoming a more effective communicator today.

Episode Notes

Tangible Takeaways:

• Communicating with clarity takes intention!
• Your audiences need structure to know where you're headed and what you're doing. Otherwise, they're going to get lost and tune out.
• When you start any message, whether it's a voice message, voicemail, or voice memo- front load it with why you're sharing it or what you want from the conversation.
• If you notice yourself rambling, stop, pause, and say aloud, “My point is this…” That will repair the rambling episode and make you appear more focused.
• When you're communicating with clarity, pausing is a beautiful skill to have. It shows control, people listen, and is directly linked to credibility.
