Arianna Huffington said, “Our attention spans are shorter than ever. Did you know the average focus time has also dropped to just 47 seconds?

Shortened attention spans have an effect on how we listen! Given that, here's how to best connect with your listener/audience when speaking:
1. Be succinct
2. Add inflection to your words to make them sound more interesting
3. Good nonverbal language builds connection and engagement
