What if the reason people tune out when you talk isn’t what you say—but how you say it? In this episode, legendary communication coach and bestselling author Bill McGowan breaks down the real reasons most people sound the same—and how you can instantly stand out. We explore why most presentations fail, how to break free from “corporate speak,” and what the best communicators do differently. Bill shares powerful strategies from his new book Speak Memorably, including the 3 Ps of delivery (pace, pitch, projection), how to write for the ear (not the eye), and the tools that make people remember your words. You'll learn how to create original, authentic content—and why ChatGPT can’t do it for you. Whether you're pitching an idea, leading a meeting, or giving a toast, this episode will give you the tools to sound clear, captivating, and confident.
