To speak confidently and clearly knowing your audience really helps. Make the time to think through what the other person might be thinking and feeling right now. How does their role influence their viewpoint and what pressures does it create. The better you understand your audience, the more clearly you can speak to others so they listen, understand and take in your message. 

Preparing in advance, even if it is only a few seconds to think through how you are going to structure your points gives you confidence and enables you to speak clearly. Rambling, long and overly detailed talks or emails are very hard to follow and understand. Create a structure to what you say so that it is easy to follow and easy to communicate. 

How you speak or your speaking style can be improved quickly with a little practice. This will help you speak confidently in meetings and with groups. I share tips on how to practice to speak confidently and clearly.

The four step in making your communication more concise – that is having the same meaning in a lot less words. Even those that ramble a lot right now can become concise in how they communicate. I share an simple exercise to practice regularly that will build your conciseness skills quickly.

Finally, your body language, particularly your facial expressions and how you hold yourself communicate a lot of meaning alongside the words you use. Focus on how you use your body language when communicating more than the words you say. Both are important. When you look confident speaking, you will feel a lot more confident.
