From filler words and mumbling to posture, breath, and pausing, this conversation is packed with strategies to help you ditch self-consciousness, speak with precision, and connect more powerfully in every conversation. Whether you’re giving a speech or ordering salad dressing, this episode will help you show up—and speak up—better.
