Stop standing and move around!
A great post by Tim Sanders highlighted something I have been practicing for years now when talking to architects and engineers.
”….. now I know why I have such better calls when I’m hands free. Because my hands are free to gesture and visually articulate, I’m more likely to get ‘in conversation flow’. In these calls I’m doing a better job ‘coming across’ and conveying my intentions.
Take this idea into account when you think about having an important call with both hands glued to the wheel. It’s like having an emotional muzzle on you. Think about it the next time you have an important call, interview or recording that requires an expressive audio performance. From now on, I’m going hands free whenever possible. And I mean free!”
Granted most of “Corporate America” sits in a cubicle and might breeze over this advice, but there are many small changes you can make to create energy while on the telephone. One small change you can make is standing up from your chair when on the telephone; this makes a huge difference in the inflection of your voice!
