Idk the way you talk throws me off. I get the idea that you want to be able to speak in concise sentences but I noticed you add a lot of pauses in awkward spots. Like when you said “the exact same information is in both……. Versions” feels robotic or something idk lol the fact your speaking about pauses while placing pauses in awkward spots threw me off. It makes me feel like your forcing yourself to pause. Doesn’t feel natural. Your a great teacher but I think you should try to speak more naturally in your videos. Just my honest opinion 🤷🏻♂️
It may be an unpopular idea but I actually favor the expressiveness and eloquence in private conversations. In the times of people mumbling lazy, monosylabic answers that bring no meaning and demand from me to ask a ton of follow up questions to finally get what I want to know - a complete, eloquent and full answer that covers all the aspects at once is like a breath of fresh air to me. :) It's like 5 minutes vs. 15 seconds of my attention. I read fast and don't get lost in the text. :) Public speaking might benefit from dividing long sentences into shorted ones. That's true.
The might be more appropriate in a casual professional networking setting. a. Therapy b. Active listening c. Reflective listening d. Reflective listening What the answer???

Anyone in sales should listen to your advice.
I hear you. I don't coach sales people specifically, but many of them do need this type of advice.
@alexanderlyon I'm in sales, and I've learned a lot from you! every time I'm in front of a customer, I'm speaking publicly. 😉
