Verbal Detractors
When speaking… in person, by phone, to a group
or at a drive-through:
-
16
Only use words…
Don’t be a robot without a personality
Be aware of your timing
You should articulate, really
Visual Detractors
When presenting yourself… in person, to a
group, via FaceTime or on CNN:
-
17
Be universal in your style
Leave the Crown Jewels at home
Look them right in the eye or eyes
Know who is watching
Intangible Detractors
In all forms of communication… you want to
remember a few foundational points:
-
18
Avoid ‘nice’ words
Don’t drive in the ditch
Nervous energy is negative
Flying by the seat of your pants
can HURT!
