Speak Like a CONFIDENT Leader! 3 BEST Ways to Improve Your Speaking Skills as a Leader

Do you want to speak like a confident leader instead of a hesitant professional? These three easy tips will definitely improve your communication skills as a leader so you can speak like a leader at work! This video focuses on how to use your voice so you can speak with a confident voice. I also talk about the words that you use and how you should aim for "verbal commitment" when you speak.
I cover speed, tone of voice, the upswing, verbal fillers and asking thought-provoking questions to initiate conversations. These are all important areas to think about when you want to develop a confident voice to improve your speaking skills and speak like a confident leader.
Confident speakers are not born that way. They use a variety of tools that they've learned to make their communication sound strong and confident. You can absolutely learn these strategies as well. I share many of them in this video.
If you're an ambitious professional, an aspiring leader or a leader and you want to know how to sound more confident when you speak, this video is for you!

The best thing I ever did to learn to communicate more confidently was record myself on video. I had no idea what I sounded like, how poorly I articulated my speech, and I was shocked. Those initial recordings never made it to KZbin. And what I got for making improvements was a larger audience than others who have posted hundreds of more videos than I have.

[@kararonin]

That is amazing! Well done!

[@yassinel9696]

Can you tell us more about how to exercise our speach and ameliorate it

Thanks Kara ! I like this advice of taking a breath, pause ,sloe down your speech!

[@helium740]

I always find difficulty in understanding American English accent. I was worried that I have a problem. Hearing this video I could understand every single world and meaning or every single sentence. Now I felt confident. Thank you❤

[@robertp.wainman4094]

But this is an Australian English accent.

[@hoavuong7199]

All my life, I've learned how not to speak. I found it is more practical, now I become stupid. But it is too late, I am 65 now. It is still good to know how to speak clearly.

[@yeshuman668]

never too late

[@Earth-360]

I am 50. I started learning communication. I am seeing the benefits in few months. Until we die we have to communicate. You will still use these skills.

[@nguyenngan7410]

Perfect! I came here to confirm my thinking about the upswing. I used it a lot without noticing it until I saw a manager speaking like that in a conference. You cleared my doubt that now I should use rather the downswing. Thanks a lot! ❤
