In this video, I learned that elite speakers have a distinct verbal brand, which is essentially a unique way of expressing themselves that reflects their values and goals. This is how you become articulate with speaking. I discovered that building my own verbal brand involves choosing words and phrases that align with how I want to be perceived, avoiding overused or awkward expressions. I also need to address "lexical gaps"—the moments when I'm unsure of the right words—by learning new, clear ways to express complex ideas. Practicing these phrases aloud and embedding them into my subconscious will help me communicate more naturally and effectively like the elite 1%.
