Clear, confident, magnetic speakers weren’t born that way. They practiced. They mastered the skills. You can too.

[Ita M. Olsen, MA CCC/SLP @ConveyClearly]

Most folks aren't incredible communicators, but you can be!

👄 Don't over-articulate.
🎹 Use a varied intonation pattern.
⏸️ Use pauses. Stop, breathe in.

Small talk is the key to successful networking. Despite the abundance of articles on "How to Make Small Talk," most miss the mark.

Small talk isn't about the weather.

@olivermercyati I'm so glad to hear it! Sending you love! 🩷

When you tell people what you do, are they desperate to hire you?

🚨

Ever had a brilliant idea… but people’s eyes glaze over as you explain it?

The problem isn’t your idea—it’s your delivery. Master conciseness. Say less, mean more, and get people to act.

@olivermercyati Hi hi hi! Sorry! I haven't been on here so much. I'm doing ok, thanks. ❤️❤️❤️

Why do your words never sound as good out loud as they do in your head? 🤔

(Hint: it’s not your fault—and it’s fixable.)

@olivermercyati How are you, my friend?

[Ita M. Olsen, MA CCC/SLP @ConveyClearly]

Lost for words at the worst time?

Ideas crystal clear in your mind but messy out loud?

That’s not nerves—it’s a skill gap. And skills can be trained.

If networking feels awkward, forced, or “salesy,” you’re not alone.

Most people either don’t know what to say, rely on small talk about the weather, or put so much pressure on themselves that it kills the conversation.

😩

Are filler words stopping you from getting your message across?

Stopping people from understanding & loving your ideas?
