Giggity? More Like Slow giggity!
Alright! Glen Quagmire here ready to drop some knowledge bombs on you youngsters entering the workforce. Apparently you whippersnappers are talking too fast! Like you're trying to outrun a restraining order! According to some fancy pants communication consultant Bill McGowan (who coaches Bezos and Zuck Giggity!) slowing down is the key to confidence. Now I always thought confidence came from a solid wink and a perfectly timed 'Giggity,' but hey what do I know?
Um Like You Know... Don't Say That!
McGowan says all those 'ums' and 'likes' are a result of speed. It's like when I try to explain to Brian why chasing skirts is my nature – it just comes out in a jumbled mess! But seriously ditch the filler words. It makes you sound like you're trying to remember if you left the stove on… or if you used protection last night. Giggity! Be concise! Be clear! Be like Quagmire – smooth and deliberate!
Social Media Speed Demons!
They say social media is to blame. All those TikToks and Snaps are making you talk faster than Peter Griffin at a buffet! But trust me in the real world slowing down is key. It's like savoring a fine wine… or a perfectly… you know. You can't rush perfection! Plus if you talk too fast people might think you are trying to sell them something... or trying to get in their pants.
Apologetic Speech? Not On My Watch!
Talking fast is like saying 'Hey I know you don't care but I'm gonna ramble anyway.' Don't be apologetic! Own the room! Strut your stuff! Pretend you're me at a singles bar! Giggity! Confidence comes from taking your time and making every word count. Just like every wink.
Breathe Stretch and Imagine… Non Native Speakers!
Some Stanford lecturer says slowing down your breathing helps. Makes sense. Can't chase tail if you are out of breath! Also try big hand gestures! Like you're conducting an orchestra… or flagging down a cab… or you know… something else you use your hands for. And imagine you're talking to someone who doesn't speak your language. You'll naturally slow down. It's like when I try to explain the joys of Quagmire to a nun. Gotta enunciate!
Practice Makes Perfect (and Gets You Laid!)
Practice your speeches! Know what you're gonna say. It's like rehearsing my pickup lines in the mirror. Gotta make sure the 'Giggity' is just right! If you're prepared you can take your time and deliver a smooth confident message. And who knows maybe that confidence will lead to other… opportunities. Giggity! Now if you excuse me I think I hear someone calling my name... from the shower!
