Episode 56. How Riffing, not Rambling, is a Powerful Technique

Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson

Rambling is DEFINITELY not what we want when we’re aiming to speak with confidence and impact. But riffing, well, that’s a completely different story.

But often times people think when they’re talking conversationally they’re rambling and therefore they’re not effective. But riffing is quite different to rambling and is a really powerful technique for engaging your audience, building rapport and making your point.

In this episode I talk about the difference between rambling and riffing and how you can riff, verbally, like a fabulous musician does in a good piece of music, and use gestures and your stage to keep your audience and emphasise your points.
