Speaking Tips For the Beginner To Look And Feel Like A Pro

The first few seconds can make you look like a seasoned pro or a nervous beginner. Learn how to pause, take a breath, and own the room before you say a word.

You’ll also discover how filler words weaken your message, why the right outfit can change how you feel, and how memorizing your opening and closing helps you speak with control.

• How to prepare your mind and body before speaking, so nerves don’t take over
• Why pausing before you begin makes people pay attention, so you look confident from the start
• How to spot and remove filler words, so your message sounds clear and polished
• What to wear when you speak, so you feel like a million bucks and show up as the speaker you’re becoming
• Why memorizing your opening and closing matters, so you start strong and finish on time

Pause. Breath. Own the room.

Your next big opportunity may depend less on what you say than on what you’re willing to negotiate.

Laurie-Ann Murabito talks with Kristen Prinz, a professional negotiator who believes negotiation shapes your work, relationships, and daily choices. It’s not about getting the lowest price. It’s about knowing what matters and influencing others to help make it happen.

You’ll hear why even top executives struggle to negotiate for themselves. You’ll also learn why aggressive tactics can win today but cost you tomorrow, especially when the relationship matters.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to define your destination and work backward, so you can plan the conversations that move you forward
• Why successful people often struggle to ask for what they want, so you can stop letting outside opinions run your decisions
• How silence and patience can strengthen your position, so you don’t talk yourself out of a better outcome
• Why negotiation is not about having one perfect personality, so you can use your own strengths instead of pretending to be someone else
• How to practice negotiation with family and friends, so you build confidence before the stakes get high

Stop chasing the win. Start negotiating the life you want.
