"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I hate my voice sometimes and it is something I really need to improve on, when I was younger in 1st school I used to see a speach therapist. But now I find it hard to pronouce certain sylabols or certains words, which means my conversational skills can be very poor sometimes or i'll cut it down to small sentances or one word answears to avoid embarassment. Is there anyways to improve my pronouciation? can anyone point me in the direction to look in either some websites or any decent books I can buy?

cheers
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

No Bible he needs an SLP ( Speech Language Pathologist) and then toastmasters.

http://www.asha.org/default.htm

You can find a directory of SLP's on that site. You can also checkout your local colleges, because they often need patients.
