If you’d like to improve your public speaking skills, there’s an app
for that. The Orai app for iOS lets you record your voice and then
reviews your speech for clarity, intonation and how often you use filler
words such as “like” and “um.” It offers exercises that you can do in
private including tongue twisters, developing an elevator pitch and how
to use pauses for the best effect. Source Link
Can
the pace you set on-foot offer clues to whether you’ll suffer from

You
can avoid the post-vacation blues by taking some steps before you head
off for your summer getaway. Experts say you should tie up any loose
ends on work projects and be sure to set an out-of-office email message
so people know you’re gone. Give yourself at least one day between your
return home and going back to work and keep your schedule light on that
first day back. Source Link
