ADVICE

Speak With Intentional Brevity

  • Say only what needs to be said and then stop talking to increase impact and clarity.
  • Edit your speech like copy: cut filler so each word earns its place.
INSIGHT

Scarcity Increases The Value Of Words

  • Scarcity makes words more valuable, so the less you speak the more weight each word carries.
  • Overexplaining dilutes your message because listeners can't absorb or remember as much.
ADVICE

Edit Speech Like Copywriting
