What you say and how you say it can build trust, confer agency and make people feel good around you. Learn common speaking mistakes that torpedo your success so you can stop making them already!

Avoid using absolutes or negative language- even when referring to yourself.
Receive compliments by appreciating the acknowledgement of your effort and contribution instead of deflecting them.
Don't let your own bias about the default normal lead to othering by singling out  group or population.
Be decisive and descriptive- there is no need to qualify everything your say.
Beware vocal fry. Ending sentences as if you are asking a question instead of making a statement makes you appear to doubt yourself,
Drop the jargon, lingo and multi-syllabic words. Speak plainly and directly so that your audience can understand and relate to you.
Acknowledge the challenges and empathize with dilemmas and tough decisions.
