Women often undermine their own credibility and power by making small mistakes in their communication. I love working with women, because I find they can focus on these details without losing sight of the big picture. It is all about changing small speaking habits you probably use everyday. Some habits are good and serve you well, some are poor and need to be 'deleted'.
Here's a list of my top pet peeves. Now these apply to men and women, but I have noticed women display these habits more than men.
These speaking habits will make you look weaker than you are in any situation, from a one-on-one conversation with a colleague, to a boardroom presentation to the C-Suite.
