Do you often say “very good” or “very tired”?
You’re not alone — many professionals use “very” without realizing how plain and repetitive it sounds.
⭐ Story: When Sameer Realised ‘Very’ Was Weakening His Presentation
Sameer had been invited to deliver a presentation at his company’s annual review meeting. It was the biggest audience he had ever addressed—team leads, senior managers, even the VP. He practiced for days, but something about his delivery felt dull.
During rehearsal, he heard himself saying:
“The results were very good…”
“The project was very important…”
“The team was very busy…”
“We faced a very big challenge…”
His colleague Meera, who was listening, stopped him gently.
“Sameer, your content is strong, but the word ‘very’ is weakening your message. It sounds repetitive and unpolished.”
Sameer sighed. “So what do I do?”
“Use powerful, professional words,” she suggested. “Make your message sharper.”
He tried again:
“The results were excellent…”
“This was a critical project…”
“The team was fully occupied…”
“We faced a significant challenge…”
Suddenly, his message sounded clearer, more confident, and far more executive.
On the day of the presentation, Sameer spoke with precision. The leadership team nodded along, impressed by his clarity and command over language. After the meeting, the VP said, “Sameer, your choice of words made your presentation stand out.”
Sameer smiled. “All I did was stop saying very—and start sounding like a leader.”
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Using “very” too often weakens your expression.
Instead of adding power, it makes your language repetitive.
Precise words paint a clearer picture and leave a stronger impression—helping you sound confident and impactful.
