You’re Saying This Too Much, STOP IT!

#shorts #communication #skills #publicspeaking Keywords: communication, communication skills, professional communication, communication mistakes, professional, business, business communication, speaking, professional speaking, public speaking, executive, mistakes, english, learning english, english skills, skills, very, word choice, concise, language, corporate communication, marketing 'VERY'. STOP using that word! It's vague, lazy and deceptive. You're not standing out! It was very hot. Did you mean BOILING or STIFLING?I was very hungry. Did you mean FAMISHED? It was very slow. Did you mean SLUGGISH? It gets WORSE. Very, very unique. You can't modify the word unique. It's unique or it's not. The mistake that people make is believing that. Adding the word very makes it stronger. Instead, it makes it vague and weaker. When you use the word very, you confuse your audience because you aren't clear. Instead, select words that are clear, measurable or visual. Beware of the WEED WORDS!
