How to Speak Articulately
*1. Argued Points
- Thinking before you speak helps you speak clearly and communicate better.
- It is hard to speak clearly about something you understand.
2. Embracing Silence
- When pressured to talk, you may speak without thinking. This happens because you were not given time to think on them.
- Being comfortable with pauses gives you time to think.
- However, silence can still be awkward. The speaker advises people to communicate with their peers during these pauses by:
- Ask them for time to think.
- Repeat their statement for clarification.
- Thinking out loud and walking them through your thought process.
3. Have a knowledge base
- You must have some knowledge on a topic before you are able to speak articulately on it.
- An argument will not be good without information.
- Avoid arguing on things you don't know about. Ask questions and reach conclusions together.
4. Leave room for inner dialogue.
- Undisturbed time to digest information
