[@WTHPOPL]

This is amazing Kara! Thank you so much for your time and information!

[@florenceonyinyechi120]

Kara thank you ,you just touched my spot.I have an assessment 7:30 am on Wednesday.These tips have put me through.Thanks .

[@frankie2thymes913]

Thanks for sharing this! As a student it is good to see what can be expected in the real world. You raise an interesting point about not limiting these skills to the conference room. How many times have we been cut off in normal day-to-day discussions when we weren't even done getting to the point? If you're like me, it happens often; it's frustrating and can actually lead to losing the train of thought all together. Connector phrases like, "and here's why..." are great place holders in the flow of conversation. It signals to the listener in a polite manner that you're not done speaking. I'll definitely be binge watching your videos today in between work and studies! Great video! Thanks again!

[@vanessaadade7706]

This is golden! Thanks for sharing Kara, great content.

[@kararonin]

Thanks so much Vanessa! I'm glad it was helpful for you.

[@Aprah-zf2oe]

I have a presentation shortly. These tips comes right on time! Thank you Kara❤

[@riccello]

There are individuals out there who have mastered the art of talking smart without actually knowing what they are talking about.

[@jash500]

I’m one of them. You’d be amazed at what I can get away with.

[@theleakingpot]

Absolutely. And I envy them.

[@shreyamahareddy]

Thank you so much for the impeccable content, Kara!

[@kararonin]

I'm delighted you're enjoying it Shreya!

[@volodymyrkis1120]

Kara, you are brilliant. Thanks for making these videos!

[@kararonin]

Thank you for watching! And for your support!

[@kiomarsmohammadi6038]

REPEATING is the key of LEARNING, Thanks a lot KARA.

[@pariaparsa4335]

This is the best video I’ve viewed so far! Thank you Kara for the useful tips in relation to think fast talk smart! I can’t wait to see what your future videos will be about! A suggestion from me would be “how to build your brand at work by showcasing your contribution to the team and business”. Personally, I contribute a lot but I tend to make my work look simple and easy to do yet hardly anyone at work been able to do what I did.

[@kararonin]

Thank you so much! I'll keep that topic in mind for future videos. It's certainly in line with what I do.

[@janicecruz8143]

Thank you so much!

[@user-gz1eb5fw6m]

Thanks a lot for sharing these awesome advices!

[@syeella8135]

hi Kara. All your videos have been so helpful. I relate so much especially to this video, and the part about holding back due to overthinking about what other people think. I struggle so much due to this, even during general conversations. Could you perhaps do a video on how to not worry about what other people think in midst of conversation? I tend to do it subconsciously

[@nileshshah2644]

@syeella8135 Tell your mind every morning. I am liked by all and my points are heard by all very nicely. This exercise is to boost your confidence permanently. Put it as a daily morning ritual. Practice in front of mirror.

[@christynotchrissy]

There’s a good TED talk about this. Basically, tell yourself you are excited, not scared. Then remind yourself that the anxiety is just your being excited. It’s calming and does seem to help.

[@WSUGLUE]

Thank you for such great tips and for the awesome examples. To see actual examples is so crucial! And thank you for connecting them all so beautifully and showing how they all depend on each other. You presented them in a way where I didn’t have to rewatch, because you explained each tip perfectly and reminded me of them along the way. I love this video, and it’s so much better than videos that just name the tips. Thanks so much, and wish me luck talking! 🙈

[@kararonin]

I'm so glad you like my approach to conveying this information. Thank you!

[@ohmikans]

[@dilip1able]

Stop Worrying About What Others Think: Self-doubt and worry about others' opinions can hinder your ability to speak quickly and intelligently. This can trigger a fight-or-flight response, which diverts resources away from cognitive thinking and communication. Get Straight to the Point: Avoid confusing or boring your audience by circling around the topic. Identify your main point before you start speaking and get to it quickly. Handling Unexpected Questions: When asked a question you're not sure how to answer, pause, acknowledge the question, repeat it, and then share your honest thoughts and opinions. Use Intriguing Connectors: Connectors are phrases that link your main point to your explanation or elaboration. They keep your audience engaged and interested in what you're going to say next. Examples include "Here's why...", "I'll tell you what that would look like...", and "There are three reasons why I believe that...". Highlight the Number of Points: Clarify in your mind and for your audience the number of points you're going to discuss. This helps you talk faster and smarter on the spot and helps your listener to follow you better.

[@nileshshah2644]

Best video ! I believe she is a great speaker. Very clear tone, right speed and clarity of ideas. I learnt a lot from this video. I use to speak too fast & now I speak slowly. I make sure I get proper attention & message reaches clearly to other person. My art of speaking became more articulate, instantly. Thanks Kara

[@nileshshah2644]

Mam you are gem of a person. In one video you covered everything necessary. You must have researched and practiced a lot. I wish I had your contact or email.

[@Dewii-qo2ed]

I did the same thing

[@shumito]

You are awesome, thanks !!. Also it's important to speak relax in a slow - medium pace, using fillers also like "mm you know, it's like, well, others " those give you time to think the next idea

[@kararonin]

Thank you for sharing and watching!

[@InEnglish-sg2cc]

I definitely agree with you, it was useful.However, we don't need to use this method in some situations and some people prefer to take time before talking so my philosophy it is not necessary but useful. In my opinion, writing can also affect our thinking to talk smart because you learn how to express ideas slowly ❤

[@Ready120100]

Really helpful useful tips. Thank you! As an emerging leader who is an introvert at heart, I have to be intentional in trying to improve this about myself as it could possibly be a hindrance to me climbing the career ladder. Also the video you referenced at the end isn't at the top corner of the video.

[@wangyi198721]

Love the tips although very often it is the lack of ability to keep up with discussions in a meeting that gives me the most fear. I can be a good speaker but have big psychological trouble listening and understanding deep conversations.

[@georgiafrancis9059]

You are not alone..... really, you aren't.......I'm not quite there, but I will be and so will YOU. It actually has nothing to do with the present. Go back to how you were raised or talked to when you were in school. When you find that ONE place, that ONE person that made you feel insecure then you have answered your question. Good luck, it took me a mere 30 years.......God bless you.

[@kararonin]

It does take a lot of concentration to do that. Asking questions for clarification or rephrasing what people say might help you jump into the conversation as you prepare your own thoughts.

[@Maverickuk]

Totally pragmatic .Thanks
