Quotes
“If you’re trying to write for the masses, you may not have that personal touch. But if you’re speaking to one person or writing for one person, it becomes more conversational, warmer, and more personal.” – Karen Friedman
“In order to keep the audience’s attention, it’s important to pause, breathe, and speak at a moderate pace. This is particularly crucial in virtual situations, where people tend to talk over each other.” – Karen Friedman
