Are You a Small Business Owner Struggling with Public Speaking?
One simple tip: slow down your speech. π
Speaking too quickly can make your message difficult to understand and might lead to using filler words like "um" or "like."π By taking a moment to think before you speak, you'll come across as more confident, credible, and articulate.
Try it the next time you have to present or give a speech. You'll be surprised at how much it can improve your delivery!

Today was a reminder of the importance of work-life balanceβand the unexpected ways life can demand your full attention. π
One moment, I was focused on my errands, and the next, I was fighting for my life as my son ambushed me in Walmart with a lightsaber. βοΈ At that moment, everything else had to wait as I dropped what I was doing and defended myself with all the skills of a Jedi Master. π¦ΈββοΈ.

Every day, I take my two boys out to the playground and we practice crossing the streetπ¦. Even though weβve repeated the same steps countless times, they still make mistakes. Some days theyβre pros, and others, well, they need a bit more guidance π§.
This experience mirrors the mentor-mentee relationship. We may be given clear instructions, but sometimes we need gentle reminders to stay on track. Itβs a testament to the power of patience and the importance of consistent effort πͺ.
As a parent and a professional, Iβm constantly learning the value of compounding interest π. Small, consistent steps can lead to significant results over time. Letβs keep striving for progress, one step at a time π£.

As a parent, I believe in the power of early learning. π± One skill that Iβve prioritized for my son is public speaking. π£οΈ
Every Friday, we have a little tradition. π
We head to my office and record a video. π₯ Itβs a simple routine, but itβs helping him become more comfortable on camera and speaking in front of others. πΊ
