Slow Down Your Speaking Pace
Chanakya wrote in the Arthashastra that a messenger's value lies not in the volume of words but in the weight each word carries. That principle applies to every presentation, interview, or public address you will ever give. When anxiety kicks in, the body speeds up, heart rate, breathing, and speech all accelerate together. The result is a voice that sounds thin and rushed, which audiences read as uncertainty even when the content is solid.
