-
Pace: Should you try slowing down or speeding up your delivery? Studies have shown that 80 to 160 words per minute is best for listener comprehension.
-
Sensitive language: Have you used words or phrases that could be interpreted as insensitive? Meeting Coach listens for non-inclusive speech about disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, race, mental health, and ethnic identity.
-
Pitch: Should you try varying you speaking tone? Monotone delivery can make paying attention more difficult.
