Try to speak slower. This will give you more time to think, while also making you sound more authoritative.



More than one person in replies believes the OP is looking to improve their speaking. Perhaps this is a clue to where the OP can improve.

My tip is to always start with a clear indication of where you are going.

In this case, mention writing in the title, or very soon into the first sentence. For example, you could start with "Eloquent writing eludes me, I'm looking for strategies, tips, or advice." Nobody would read that and then give you advice on public speaking!


Ah yes the word "present" through me off.

If it is about writing - I always find that re-reading what you wrote the next day helps with refactoring the text.


Case in point, I suppose! Thank you!
