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 KZread. And what I got for making improvements was a larger audience than others who have posted hundreds of more videos than I have.
