End your up-talk

Imagine me ending this sentence with a raised pitch, “I can help you overcome your communication challenges.”

Cringy right? Even in your head, ending this sentence with “up talk” made it sound uncertain, weak, that it didn’t have much weight.

Now, imagine me saying the same sentence but lowering my pitch at the end, or at least not raising my pitch: “I can help you overcome your communication challenges.”

I didn’t even have to do it in real life for you to notice that it was more effective.

Uptalk can reduce authority and confidence and can increase uncertainty and miscommunication.
