Say It in 30 Seconds. Make It Count

Before you ever open your mouth, try these:

• Lead with the point — Don't build up to it. Say it first, then support it.

• Cut the filler — Every "um," "basically," and "kind of" costs you credibility. Silence is stronger.

• Use the 3-word rule — If you can't summarize your message in 3 words, you don't own it yet.

• Time yourself — Record a 30-second version of something you need to say. You'll be surprised what you discover.

• Earn the next 30 seconds — Great brevity doesn't end the conversation. It starts one.
