We communicate every single day through meetings, emails, conversations, and passing comments we don't even think twice about. The problem is, most of us have never been taught how to actually communicate WELL.

In this episode, I talk about five communication habits that change how people perceive you and respond to you.

In this episode I cover:

1. Why speaking in absolutes undermines your credibility
2. How one small word swap can change how your message is received
3. The filler word habit that's making you sound less confident than you are
4. What your body language says that your words don't
5. Why most of us are so much worse at listening than we realize, and what we can actually do about it

I go into even more detail on these 5 topics, plus 3 additional tips in my Effective Communication Reference Guide. The guide also includes before-and-after examples and practice prompts for all 8 tips. You can find the downloadable guide here: Communicate with Confidence: 8 Tips to Enhance Your Communication Skills and Increase Your Credibility.
