Someone asks you a question in a meeting, and you know the answer. You just can’t get the words out quickly enough.
So you stop for a second...
That happens to fluent speakers too. They don’t always answer straight away. They use a simple phrase to give themselves a few seconds to think.
🔵 Just to make sure I’ve got this right...
🔵 I want to think that through properly.
🔵 Let me come back to that in a moment.
These phrases give you a little time to think, and you’ll sound more confident when you answer.
