In "The Art of Communication," Susan C. Young emphasizes the importance of being aware of your speaking speed during conversations. It's crucial to gauge whether the listener is keeping pace with you. Speaking too quickly can lead to misunderstandings, as the listener might not fully absorb or comprehend the message being conveyed.

Young encourages individuals to tailor their communication styles to ensure clarity and connection with their audience. By adjusting your speed to match that of your conversation partner, you enhance mutual understanding and facilitate a more effective exchange of ideas.
