[Promo] 3 Communication Resolutions

[Jayne Latz]

*Get Ready to Increase Your Success in 2018!!!*


​

As 2017 winds to a close, people across the country are beginning to
reflect on the last year, and think about what they’d like to do
differently. If you’re like most people, you’ve had your fair share of New
Year resolutions that have fallen by the wayside as winter turns to spring.
Today, I’d like to share three resolutions that are simple to start, easy
to keep, and will help you communicate your way to success in 2018:

*Take It Slow: *People tend to rush their words when they’re nervous or
passionate about a topic, two situations that come up frequently when
speaking in the workplace. Resolve to develop a controlled, even rate of
speech. You will appear more confident and knowledgeable, and give your
listener the impression that what you have to say has value.

*Keep It Clear:* Speaking clearly not only makes you seem more professional
and confident, it also ensures that your listener doesn’t have to work to
understand your message! Be sure to pronounce each and every sound of every
word. Be especially careful with consonants at the end of a word.

*Cut Out Fillers:* Fillers words and phrases like “um,” “uh,” “like,” “you
know,” and “right?” can create an air of insecurity and significantly
damage your credibility. For 2018, resolve to cut these words out of your
vocabulary! When tempted to use a filler, try replacing it with a pause.
Not only will pausing help you cut down your filler usage; it will also
give your listener time to absorb your words and increase the clarity of
your message. A good rule of thumb is to keep your filler usage to no more
than two fillers per minute: any more than that and the listener will be
paying attention to the distracting filler words instead of your message.
