I want to give you my 21-step recipe to convince with your voice…

…and keep your listeners SUPER engaged (even when they can’t see you).

This is the same recipe I used to

This recipe has been tested with REAL audiences…

…and it does work.

Let me ask you a question…

Are you tired of wasting valuable time day in and day out trying to communicate with people who don’t seem to listen to (or care about) what you have to say?

FACT: According to research from Harvard Business School and the London School of Economics… 

Executives spend 18+ hours per week in meetings with an estimated 25-50% of meeting time considered wasted…

It doesn’t matter if your company has 4 or 40,000 employees…

…ask anyone and they’ll tell you that meetings just aren’t providing the value-adds they’re looking for.

FACT: More than $

You see it yourself when speakers start to lose you early on…

…or you just look and feel bored.

And you’re not alone…

39% of meeting participants admitted to dozing off during a meeting.

You might actually be saying the right words…

…but words alone are not enough…

38% of “in-person communication” comes from your TONE of voice.

It jumps up to 82% when your audience can’t see you.  (think webinars, phone calls, and videos like the one on this page).

So here’s how we’ll get you more engagement, credibility and respect you deserve…

Like I said, this is a 21-step recipe…

...actually, it’s more like a 21-step.

In steps 1 – 4 we’ll eliminate filler words or phrases that lose focus…

In steps 5 - 13 we’ll optimize the words you choose to SHOW confidence and credibility…

Specifically, we’ll cover…

  • How to remove words that imply deception and use qualifiers instead…

  • 3 powerful alternatives to negative and controlling words…

  • Confident language to avoid terms of uncertainty and show conviction…

  • How to use directionals to establish leadership (so you gain.

    In these final steps, we’ll cover…

    • How to find your “natural norm” using your tone, volume and pace…

    • The inflection technique you can use immediately to eliminate “up speak”…

    • The simple way to use the power of the pause to appear more confident…

    • 7 easy strategies to make your volume, pace and inflections “shine like the sun”…

    Again, this is the same 21-step recipe I have used to coach over 750 business leaders…

    …and you’ll get to see me model exactly how to do it … with a dozen more…:)

    …so I know it works.

    Personally, I wouldn’t attempt this strategy without having a proven, step-by-step recipe to follow…

    …and this is especially true if you’re speaking in a webinar or over the phone.

    I mean it.

    DO NOT Speak at Another Meeting or Presentation Until You’ve Watched This Video.

    Have you ever heard the expression…

    • “It’s not WHAT you say; it’s HOW you say it?”

    That’s what’s wrong with most public speaking and presentations.

    It’s truly monotonous and dull…

    …and listeners are bored.

    At Rule the Room Public Speaking, we’ve already done all the hard work…

    • …observed over 750 business leaders give 750 presentations.

    • …documented all the mistakes and figured out what works (and what doesn’t).

    Don’t get me wrong…

    We’ve made our fair share of speaking mistakes in our own presentations too :)

    That’s why we’re so careful to document

    In the past, this Eloquence Recipe (the inside name of this program) was mine alone…

    …but now I’m making it available to the public so that you can...

    • Make a good impression and FINALLY be seen as a subject matter expert…

    • Save time (and money) by getting your message across the

      You either get the results you want or you get your money back.  It’s as simple as that.

Persuade your audience with the words you choose

Fillers—words and phrases people use to cover verbal gaps—are word crutches. Presenters often use them out of fear. If you sense you’re about to begin a sentence with a filler, substitute a half-second pause.

There are four words and phrases to avoid completely, because they cast suspicion on anything you said previously:

  • Frankly
  • To tell you the truth
  • Honestly
  • Actually

Once you have eliminated fillers, words of deception, and absolutes from your vocabulary, you can then start to show more confidence through the words that you choose to say (or not say).

If you find uncertain words in your recording, replace them with one or more of the following words or phrases to suggest confidence:

  • I will
  • I’m going to
  • Yes
  • Absolutely
  • Certainly

Confident leaders can move their audience to action.

Does “Would you mind telling me what you came up with?” express confidence? How about, “If you wouldn’t mind, we’re going to go focus on [whatever] now”? Time and time again I observe presenters making such weak and ineffective remarks.

Instead, try this: “Tell me what you came up with.” Or say, “Start focusing on [whatever].” These are direct commands. Some presenters avoid using direct commands because they don’t want to sound too controlling. However, you can tell someone to do something without seeming dictatorial or disrespectful.

Make melodic music when you speak to your audience

Everyone has his or her own “normal” volume, pace, and tone. Find your norm and work from that.

Inflection is largely a matter of where you put the emphasis on the word in a sentence or the syllables in a word. A change in emphasis can give a whole new meaning to a phrase or sentence.

Recall, your normal volume is one that feels comfortable and at which others can hear you easily in one-on-one interactions. Just like with inflections, by varying your volume, you can:

  • Generate enthusiasm and excitement
  • Stress importance
  • Compare and contrast two different ideas or things
  • Re-engage the distracted
  • Create a sense of urgency
  • Appear knowledgeable and credible

We’ve already discussed how the pause can be used to eliminate fillers and help you speak well. It can also be used to make you appear more confident. Being able to look at an audience directly, to hold your gaze and not to show any discomfort during a few moments of silence, have a very powerful effect. You may want to use such a moment to indicate what you have just said is so important or complex that you are giving the audience time to absorb it.
