How I Learned to Speak With More Clarity...

Kara Ronin
About this episode

For a long time, I felt that I didn’t speak with clarity. I would jump from thought to thought without any intelligent connection. I wouldn’t finish my thoughts properly leaving people with an unfinished thought. Overall, my communication was jumbled and all over the place. I realised that I needed to learn how to speak with more clarity. After spending a long time researching and trialling different methods, I narrowed it down to seven things that helped me the most.

In this episode, I take you through the method that has helped me to speak with more clarity. It includes:

  • Expanding your vocabulary
  • Removing unnecessary information
  • Conveying one thought at a time
  • Keeping the main point in mind
  • Reading to improve your speaking
  • Writing to improve your speaking
  • Learning from interviews and documentaries
