There’s a popular saying, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it.” Many disruptions in communication happen not with the words chosen but with how they were said. As we mentioned in the mood meter section of the Self-assess module, your mood will directly affect how others perceive you. If you’re tired and grouchy, mumbling words while slouching with poor posture you’ll come off as unconfident. Take your time. Speaking slowly can give you time to think about what it is you want to say. After you’ve chosen your words and have the correct tone in your voice it’s time to consider your cadence.
