I’ll be evaluating my communication habits till the day I die. Why? I want to be a more effective communicator! And part of that is self-evaluation. Honestly, I think the biggest key to better communicator is more anointing. I have a simple formula: more anointing from God = more energy for the speaker = more interest in the listener.

So I’m reading today and I come across a fascinating little number. We talk at about 150-words-per minute, but listeners can process speech at about 600 words-per-minute. That is why your mind wanders while listening to some who speaks slow! I’m also noticed that the more excited I get the faster I talk. All of that to say, I wonder if I need to pick up my pace. I wonder if talking faster, because you’re energized by what you’re saying, is one key to keeping people’s attention.
