Hi Reader!

As entrepreneurs, networking is something that makes many of us feel uncomfortable, yet it's super important to connect with others to boost our brands. Of course, there are those of us that turn into super schmoozers as soon as they walk into a room -- but that's a unique skill that needs to be practiced.

If you're a dietitian and you're going to our annual Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) this week, you've gotta listen to my podcast linked tohelp you plan before, during and after the show. And if you're not going...no worries! My Media Savvy tips will help you navigate any meeting, no matter the size. (That's because even if you're just talking to one person, you need to have your elevator pitch down to a science because that one person could be the bridge to big things!)

And speaking of schmoozing...you'll also want to ditch those filler words that take up precious space and cloud your messages. You'll find that story below, too.

I also just want to take a sec to say hi and thanks for following along -- you're appreciated!

Bon

You Asked, I Answered:

Question:

"Oh no! I just watched myself in a video and I can't believe I said "you know" so many times!! What can I do to correct that before I actually have to do a real interview?"

Answer:
We don’t want fillers in our food, so why let them sneak into our conversations? 🤯

Ever caught yourself saying “like” or “uhh” a little too often? 😬 Yeah, we’ve all been there—but it’s time to do some ditching!

Whether you’re commanding the stage at a conference, leading a meeting, podcasting, or just catching up with a friend, filler words can seriously water down your impact. Don’t let them dilute your message!

🗣️ Ready to level up your communication game? Record yourself on your phone or turn your camera around and take a video of yourself just spontanteously talking. It's much harder to correct a problem if you're not seeing and hearing it yourself.
