On todays episode we're going to be talking about ticks, particularly verbal and nonverbal ticks and their impact on credibility and audience perception. Verbal tics include filler words like 'um' and 'uh' as well as nonverbal tics like sporadic movements. While these tics may not seem like a big issue on the surface, they can make speakers appear less competent and confident, and even like frauds or liars. I'll provide strategies for reducing verbal tics, including focusing on powerful storytelling, enrolling oneself in the message, and prioritizing the audience.
In This Episode
- Verbal tics like filler words and nonverbal movements can erode credibility and make speakers appear less competent and confident.
- Factors like nervousness, being unprepared, and going off script can increase verbal tics.
- Reducing verbal tics requires focusing on powerful storytelling, enrolling oneself in the message, and prioritizing the audience.
- Verbal tics take away valuable speaking time that could be used to serve the audience.
- Practicing content and stories with a strategy can help reduce the reliance on scripts and improve speaking effectiveness.

We emphasize the importance of understanding audience needs, overcoming misconceptions about structure in talks, and the anatomy of a high converting presentation. By focusing on authority stories, addressing audience beliefs, and creating urgency for action, experts can bridge the gap and enhance their impact. The episode concludes with a success story illustrating the transformative power of structured communication. In This Episode The Experts Gap occurs when experts fail to connect with their audience. Experts often design messages that satisfy their own understanding rather than the audience's needs. Structure in communication is not inauthentic; it enhances clarity and connection. A well-structured talk allows for emotional connection and audience engagement. The anatomy of a high converting talk includes three key questions: Should I listen to this? Will this work for me? Should I act now? Authority stories help establish trust and relevance with the audience. Addressing audience beliefs is crucial for effective communication. Creating urgency for action is essential for conversions. Structure liberates creativity and amplifies authenticity in presentations.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedToday on the show we have Zipporah. Zipporah is an expert in both the tantric arts and in integrating that with many different kinds of plant medicines. But what makes her stand out is using cannabis in an intentional, clear way to open yourself up to better intimacy in your relationships; your partners first and foremost, but in many other areas of your business. And today we're going to explore that story of how to discuss these somewhat taboo topics and show the productive, powerful ways that they can be applied in many different people's lives. In This Episode Start with oneself and cultivate awareness through practices like breathwork, meditation, and yoga. Intimacy blocks can manifest in various areas of life and impact relationships and personal growth. Using plant medicines, such as cannabis, in a conscious and intentional way can enhance intimacy and expand consciousness. Tantra and conscious sexuality can be applied practically in various aspects of life, including relationships and personal development. There is a need to address stigmas and misconceptions surrounding tantra, sexuality, and plant medicines. Creating clear boundaries and open communication are essential for healthy and fulfilling relationships. Embracing one's own desires and fantasies can lead to deeper levels of pleasure and connection. The journey of self-discovery and embracing one's authentic expression can lead to personal growth and transformation. Sharing one's story and experiences can inspire and empower others to explore their own paths of self-discovery and conscious sexuality. Intentions and declarations have the power to manifest desired outcomes and attract aligned experiences and connections.
