People follow certainty.
| | Words are everywhere. | We're flooded with them…emails (yes, I get the irony), ads, meetings, commentary, advice. | And because of this, most people speak without impact. | They talk to fill space. | They explain to be liked. | They over-elaborate, hoping to be understood. | But influence doesn't come from more words. | It comes from the right words. | That's why precision is persuasion. | The most compelling people in the world aren't the ones who speak the longest. | They're the ones who speak with clarity. | They know exactly what they mean…and they say it, without apology, without excess, and without filling the silence. | They don't try to overwhelm you with intelligence. | They draw you in with certainty. | Because persuasion isn't performance. | It's conviction. | And that kind of conviction only comes from doing the internal work: | - Knowing your values | - Thinking clearly under pressure | - Choosing language that reflects strength—not emotional chaos | - Listening fully before responding | When you become more precise, two things happen: | 1. People start leaning in | 2. You stop needing to repeat yourself | You no longer feel the urge to convince. | You speak once…and it lands. | Not because you're loud, but because you're sharp. | And sharpness cuts through noise like nothing else. | This week's challenge is simple, but transformative: | Speak slower. | Use fewer filler words. | Let silence do half the talking. | And the next time you need to say something important, ask yourself: | "What's the most exact way I can express this?" | Then say it once. | And stop talking. | Because the people who say less, but mean more, are the ones we trust, remember, and follow. | Precision is power. | And power, when quiet, becomes irresistible. | To your greatness, | -James Michael Sama | P.S.: If you're looking for a private advisor to help you develop these qualities, let's talk. | |
