Episode #39: How to Sound More Confident in Interviews

How we speak and the words we choose have a big impact on the impressions we make on others and our self-confidence. Are you aware of whether or not you use filler or hedge words? We often don’t even realize our speech habits unless we record ourselves. Our guest Tracy Hooper is here to help us choose words that empower us and lose the ones that don’t. She is the Founder of The Confidence Project and author of The New Hello. She also has extensive experience in broadcast TV news and voice-over work.

In this episode we’re talking about:

How the words we use create an impression, for better or worse
Filler words to avoid such as um, so, like, you know, and right
Hedge words and how they can work against us
Three ways bad speech habits get into our vocabulary
Tips on how to lose the words that don’t serve you
The virtuous confidence loop that comes from choosing empowering words
