Tomorrow morning I embark on a 36-hour marathon of travel and speaking and it couldn’t have come at a better time, as I believe I’m coming down with yet another Teddy-related virus.
I can handle minor illness with a bit of Tylenol Cold and adrenalin, but a scratchy throat could prove to be a real challenge on stage. So I’m loading up on cough drops and Throat Coat tea.
Either way, I’m sharing a ton of important tips this week on how to be a more skilled, confident communicator. Here’s a rundown.
