Why speak in shorter sentences?

It’ll force you to slow down.

You’ll reduce & identify filler words more easily.

You’ll simplify the grammar.

Particularly helpful if you’re speaking in a second or third language!

So try keeping those sentences short.

Especially when saying something important.

You’ll be punchier too.

Super.

 I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective. I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been. Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
