CLARITY
Speaking with clarity improves;
connection and
engagement
because it increases trust and transparency. Clarity allows your audience to focus on the meaning behind your message, instead of spending to figure out the words that you are saying.
To improve clarity, pen down your speech in verbatim (what you are going to say).
Practice giving the speech for a few times in front of a friend.
Get feedback from your friend on any words or portions of the speech that were unclear.
The following clip is an example of how a lack of clarity, due to an accent or mispronunciation, makes it hard for anyone to understand the message that is being said.
