A lot of people make the mistake, when they are asked to speak in public, of believing they will seem smarter and better-informed if they speak quickly.
"Look how fast I can process information!" they think. "It's obvious to the audience that I am in command of my facts."
Research says the opposite.
If you are speaking rapidly, these are the messages you are sending to your audience:
I am nervous.
I want to get out of here.
I am afraid that if I slow down, you may ask me a question for which I will not have a good answer.
Want to come across as a confident speaker?
The first step you may need to take is to SPEAK MORE SLOWLY.
