Speak like a boss
Leaders usually don’t talk like employees. They speak clearly, with confidence, and they are authentic. To sound like a boss when you talk, use these methods.
1. Drop your filler words, including “um” and “er.” Using unnecessary words weakens your credibility. Those terms include “I think,” “you know,” “like,” “frankly,” to be honest.” Don’t end your sentences with “and whatnot,” “things like that,” or “you know what I’m saying.” These crutches wreak havoc on our persuasion skills. But many of us don’t realize that we use these filler words. Record yourself a minute or two

Apologize when you’ve done wrong
If you’ve done something that caused hurt, then you should apologize, even if it was unintentional. Apologizing opens up conversation, allowing you to reconnect with the person. There are six elements to a sufficient apology. First, express regret. Second, explain what went wrong. Third, acknowledge responsibility. Fourth, declare repentance. Five, offer repair. Six, request forgiveness.
The most crucial element of the six is to accept responsibility. Please acknowledge that you made a mistake and make it clear that you’re at fault. Never apologize

Nolan is a cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles. The highpoint of his position is sacking the quarterback. That’s because it creates a psychological change in the quarterback. It makes him angry. We know that anger causes tunnel vision. It narrows your senses and significantly erodes your ability to make intelligent decisions.
At the snap against the Indianapolis Colts, Nolan clears the offensive line and smacks the quarterback on the ground with the crack of plastic and the force of hundre...
