Tom Cruise might not have this problem but for many of us, hearing the sound of our voice is scary.
And if you are like me and find your voice really, really unpleasant, it’s hard.
But overcoming this funny fear can be so amazing! If you have a problem with communication and you are often misunderstood. This is a good technique you can do alone. Practice your presentation or speech, record it and play it back. Suddenly, you will be able to step into the listener’s shoes and hear what they hear.
For example, a manager talking to her/his team would ask: Does the speech have meaning, clear instructions and a conclusion?
This really helped me. I hope it helps someone else who is trying to master communication skills.
