[@riccello]

There are individuals out there who have mastered the art of talking smart without actually knowing what they are talking about.

[@jash500]

I’m one of them. You’d be amazed at what I can get away with.

[@theleakingpot]

Absolutely. And I envy them.

[@dilip1able]

Stop Worrying About What Others Think: Self-doubt and worry about others' opinions can hinder your ability to speak quickly and intelligently. This can trigger a fight-or-flight response, which diverts resources away from cognitive thinking and communication.
Get Straight to the Point: Avoid confusing or boring your audience by circling around the topic. Identify your main point before you start speaking and get to it quickly.
Handling Unexpected Questions: When asked a question you're not sure how to answer, pause, acknowledge the question, repeat it, and then share your honest thoughts and opinions.
Use Intriguing Connectors: Connectors are phrases that link your main point to your explanation or elaboration. They keep your audience engaged and interested in what you're going to say next. Examples include "Here's why...", "I'll tell you what that would look like...", and "There are three reasons why I believe that...".
Highlight the Number of Points: Clarify in your mind and for your audience the number of points you're going to discuss. This helps you talk faster and smarter on the spot and helps your listener to follow you better.

[@frankie2thymes913]

Thanks for sharing this! As a student it is good to see what can be expected in the real world. You raise an interesting point about not limiting these skills to the conference room. How many times have we been cut off in normal day-to-day discussions when we weren't even done getting to the point? If you're like me, it happens often; it's frustrating and can actually lead to losing the train of thought all together. Connector phrases like, "and here's why..." are great place holders in the flow of conversation. It signals to the listener in a polite manner that you're not done speaking. I'll definitely be binge watching your videos today in between work and studies! Great video! Thanks again!

[@transglobalcargo9328]

Wow, I have learned something from this clip....

[@butafogo1]

Hi, Kara, your tips were really useful. May I also suggest that a good way to prepare to think fast and talk smart is to do all your thinking IN ADVANCE and write your ideas down.
For instance, if I'm attending a meeting on water conservation, I'll sit for 30 minutes and reflect on all I know about the subject and consider it from every angle. I'll jot everything down.
Then I'll check one or two authoritative synopses.
Finally, I'll devise several possible questions and practise answering them. It may take an hour to prepare myself to speak for two minutes. It works.

[@kararonin]

That is brilliant! Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the best video I’ve viewed so far! Thank you Kara for the useful tips in relation to think fast talk smart! I can’t wait to see what your future videos will be about! A suggestion from me would be “how to build your brand at work by showcasing your contribution to the team and business”. Personally, I contribute a lot but I tend to make my work look simple and easy to do yet hardly anyone at work been able to do what I did.

[@kararonin]

Thank you so much! I'll keep that topic in mind for future videos. It's certainly in line with what I do.

[@syeella8135]

hi Kara. All your videos have been so helpful. I relate so much especially to this video, and the part about holding back due to overthinking about what other people think. I struggle so much due to this, even during general conversations.
Could you perhaps do a video on how to not worry about what other people think in midst of conversation?
I tend to do it subconsciously

[@nileshshah2644]

@syeella8135 Tell your mind every morning. I am liked by all and my points are heard by all very nicely. This exercise is to boost your confidence permanently. Put it as a daily morning ritual. Practice in front of mirror.

[@christynotchrissy]

There’s a good TED talk about this. Basically, tell yourself you are excited, not scared. Then remind yourself that the anxiety is just your being excited. It’s calming and does seem to help.
