Summary
Listen to episode 1068 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Personality and Your Speaking Voice: How to Develop Them by Clare Tree Major.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: You may impress people through your physical poise; your refined voice and charm; the jewels of wisdom you have culled from life; but the real test of your power of personality lies in your command of the art of conversation.
The first rule of good conversation is to have something worth saying, and to say it as briefly and interestingly as possible. Merely pouring out a constant stream of words isn't conversation. No one can be more thoroughly and unforgivably boring than the man or woman whose habit it is to deluge every long suffering acquaintance with an unending flow of speech.
