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.

What I've appreciated most has been the increased thought the team has been putting into how they come across and what they say. Colleagues in other teams have already commented on the improvement in both skills and confidence.
