I frequently need to repeat myself in order to be understood or taken seriously.
Call your voice mail and leave yourself a message. When you play it back, analyze whether you are speaking too softly or too quickly.
Is your speech imprecise with one word running into the next? Is your message too scattered lacking a succinct message? Do you stress the wrong syllable of words containing three or four syllables? Does your accent diminish your message?
All of these problems can be addressed easily in training. Speaking is a fine motor skill that requires crisp movements of the lips and tongue while your message must be refined and relevant to the situation.
