Ways of speaking to improve executive presence.

Several particulars to mind:rR11

• Use active verbs, avoid passive verbs. Take accountability.
• Similarly, avoid adverbs.
• Don’t stress about filler words—focusing on connection with audience should naturally reduce them anyway.
• Be concise. Relatedly, don’t ramble—increases surface area for saying something dumb, which is likely because rambling may come from a failure to understand the topic well enough to be concise.rS13
