Be Understood

Being understood seems complicated, and it is. It’s a mixture of thought clarity and translation, matching listeners’ constraints in comprehension, attention, and interest, and even speech clarity. Anything from rambling to random leaps in logic to accents interfere with being understood. But these issues are highly coachable, with quick results.

Specifically, to be understood, you need:

• Clear pronunciation, intonation, and speech rate
• Good word-finding and sentence structure
• Organization
• Defined groups of thoughts
• Ways to buy thinking and planning time for verbal formulation
