The Power of Words: What I Learned from Time
I've been advising and mentoring idea-stage founders for over a decade. During an Ariana Huffington talk in 2012, I had an eye-opening moment. She took the stage with just a few powerful words, and it hit me—I was doing it all wrong.
Here's what I adjusted:
🛑 Overcomplicating things, talking too fast, and not anchoring myself by taking breaks.
🛑 The joke I was telling was a mix of cultures and heartbroken poets, it didn't work in a professional setting.
🛑 My knowledge wasn't being delivered in an effective manner.
Now, my approach centers on:
🎯 Listening carefully and responding promptly, with a focus on respecting others' time.
🎯 Using fewer, more impactful words—allowing time to heal and shed old habits.
🎯 Communicating directly in ways that truly connect with my audience, prioritizing their needs and challenges over my own.
The outcome? A 150% increase in conversions!
What’s the best communication advice you’ve received? Do you think clarity is essential for a pitch?
