Name slowly, out-breath

Name slowly. Speak on the out-breath.

ECWe reviewed the research on it.Speaking, presence and the camera

How to use it

Say your name slowly and speak on the out-breath. Face people fully and show the greeting early. Posture is a signal you send, not a hormone hack you take.

How sure we are

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.

C Evidence: contested. The research disagrees. Named, so you can stop worrying about it.
