Third mistake, poor delivery. One of the most important things in a conversation is not what you say, but how you say it. A change in these habits can make a big difference since your voice and body language is a vital part of communication. There are six things to think about. No.1 Slowing down. When you get excited about something, it's easy to start talking faster and faster. Try and slow down. It will make it much easier for people to listen and for you actually get what you are saying across to them. No.2 Speaking up. Don't be afraid to talk as loud as you need to for people to hear you. No.3 Speaking clearly. Don't mumble. No.4 Speak with emotion. No one listens for that long if you speak with a monotone voice. Let your feelings be reflected in your voice.
