I haven’t used @X properly in years.

Since then, I’ve built a communication coaching company and spent thousands of hours studying how people speak.

I’ve learnt a lot about what makes someone sound confident, intelligent and authoritative.

Time to share it.

@TheElocutionCoa @solopress Math's was never my strong point but I don't think it takes a genius to realise that paying 27% more per item to buy multiple items does not add up.

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

Why has society failed to learn that commenting negatively on people’s speech has real life consequences?

It was great to meet everyone who came to the ‘Introduction to Elocution’ workshop today 🚀 Here’s to the next five… #elocution #speechdevelopment #publicspeaking #freeworkshop

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

First impressions are crucial. Whether it's a product, service or conversation, a poor start can ruin your pitch or chances of being heard. Think of it like a plane taking off; add extra thrust to those first 30 seconds, and the rest will follow. #firstimpressions #publicspeaking

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

Public speaking is not about being perfect, it's about connecting with your audience and delivering your message with authenticity and passion. Focus on building a strong connection and the rest will fall into place! 💬 #PublicSpeaking #SpeakWithConfidence #AuthenticCommunication

Worked it out - you’ve printed 2 x No 7 😂

@HotelChocolat Can’t work out whether I’m missing something - 24 numbers and no No 3 on your advent calendar....

@British_Airways I can't believe that after our first appalling flight from the UK to Kenya, I've just had to battle to get two seats together on the return flight!

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

If @OrielGBrasserie can do it (and obviously take it seriously), why can't @British_Airways?

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

@British_Airways ....on the next aircraft. We're not going to be arriving until 3.30am so will have missed our first night in Nairobi. There was a reason I didn't fly with you for 10 years but I hoped the company had at least improved just a little bit. Turns out it got worse.

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

@British_Airways Today has been a shambles. First you don't cater for customers with food allergies, and now I've spent over 2 hours on a plane with a broken jetty, broken air con and broken landing gear. I'm expected to have a quick bite of food now and then last 9 hours...

@Sam_Van_Dyk This has made my evening.

Lucky I had the @BP_plc app, seeing as there’s no staff at one of their stations in MK...

...effort to ensure I was comfortable and had nut-free food available throughout the flight. On the way back, BA weren’t even aware. No apology, just apple slices. Even after a letter of complaint, no apology. Come on @British_Airways #SORTITOUT

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

@British_Airways After a decade since flying with you, I am absolutely appalled that you are unable to provide special meals for those who suffer from life threatening allergies. I understand that nowhere can guarantee a nut free meal nowadays, but I’ve never had a restaurant...

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

...turn around and say well “well it doesn’t contain nuts” - for the most part, they go above and beyond to make sure their customers are safe. I was able to compare @British_Airways and @VirginAtlantic 10 years ago on a long hall flight. On the way there, Virgin made every...

@SetraHost Hi @SetraHost. Thanks for your tweet - the company has secured a package with another hosting service that is 70% cheaper than @SiteGround with better customer service. But thank you for messaging!

[James Percy-Smith @jamespercysmith]

Shocked to see that @SiteGround have increased their prices by 60%! Shocking for customers that have stayed with them for years #notimpressed #cancellation
