Description: It's time to show you how to use thought chunking, friends. Knowing how to pause is the first step to delivering a good presentation or even a simple message.

Is it the multiple number of eyes looking at us with expectation? Is it the assumption that we’re being judged? Or, might it just be a natural case of our nervous system giving us the boost we need to get the job done? It may be a combination of all three. Yet, it‘s the latter question that we can focus on to build skills in combating the agitation associated with speaking to a crowd. Use it as energy to drive the message. Imagine being able to zip up the nerves like a jacket and when we reach the top, we can bundle all of it in a positive way. We can secure it with an imaginary button at our throat, hone the excitement and speak clearly, slowly, and effectively. Fear is amongst us. But, we have the power to control it.
