Have you ever replaced just one clothing item from your outfit, and suddenly, you are rocking a completely different look that is 100x better than before?

It’s true: An insignificant tweak can really make a significant difference.

The same goes for your speaking style.

What if you’re not THAT far from being able to speak with more authority?

What if you were just one small adjustment away from transforming your entire speaking presence.

Try one of these simple tweaks to instantly carry more authority in your speaking:

  1. Slow down your speaking by 20%
  2. Add a two second pause (One breath) before you answer a question
  3. Maintain direct eye contact for 70% of your speaking, particularly at the end of your sentence
  4. Speak with a lower pitch than usual
  5. Make your consonants at the start and end of your words (p, t, d, b) more crisp

Which one will you commit to trying for the next 7 days?
