What is the #1 thing you can do to help people understand you when you’re speaking English?

I’m sure all of you have felt this way at some point. You’re speaking English at work, and somebody responds,

“I’m sorry.”

“What?”

“What was that?”

“Can you repeat that, please?”

“I didn’t understand.”

Of course, it’s frustrating for you.

It’s also frustrating for the other person.

Well, the good news is, there’s something that you can do about this immediately!

And it’s so easy for you to do! And it works!

The whole idea of developing great communication skills is to make it easy for your audience.

Well, here’s the #1 thing you can do to make it easier for your audience, when you’re speaking English.

SLOW DOWN!!

Yes, slow down!

Many times, it’s very difficult to understand someone when English is not their native language, and they’re speaking too fast.

Maybe you’re nervous, or excited, or have some type of emotion that’s existing, and you speak faster than what you might normally speak.

It doesn’t help.

In fact, it only creates frustration. 

Slow Down! Try it and see what happens.

I know it works.

I’ve used this many times with my clients. 

And you can use it immediately.

It might feel a little different at the beginning, but slow down.

Everyone will appreciate it.

Make it easy for your audience.

Communicate at a much higher level.

Try it.

I would really love to hear from you.

Please, try it.

Send me a note.

Tell me how it went for you.

I look forward to talking to you soon.
