you want to fast-forward a bit, but not want to miss anything. You might like to scan through a recording to find a part you want to hear again, but there is no "fast-forward" capability.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, you may be watching a <em>step-by-step</em> video and want to SLOW down the speed so that you can keep up.
<br>
<br>
Did you know<strong> you can adjust the playback speed... and still be able to listen and follow the speaker?</strong> This doesn't mean you'll hear a garbled "chipmunk-like" pitch. The speaker talks a bit faster (or slower), but is still understandable.
<br>
<br>
There are lots of free video tutorials, motivational recordings, and learning opportunities out there, and
<em><b>you</b></em><strong> only have so much time</strong>. If you increase the playback speed a bit, you'll be using your time more productively. <br>
<br>
For example, if you want to watch/listen to a 30 minute video,<strong> just by increasing the playback speed to 1.25, you can shorten the total time by 10 minutes!</strong>
<br>
<br>
Sure, there is software out there that you can purchase to accomplish this. <strong>
But many of the video platforms you're already using have this feature built right in</strong>!<b><br>
</b><br>
The two that we are showing you here are:<strong> YouTube </strong>and<strong> Windows Media Player</strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Here's a phrase (a concept, or approach) that may, at first blush, seem a bit "over the top". I can tell you, however, it works.<br>
<br>
It's "I want to make it easy for you." It can be a variation of this idea as well.<br>
<br>
Using this phrase creates an atmosphere of congeniality, friendliness and support.
<strong> It takes away any feeling that you are trying to rush someone</strong> ... yet it gives you a better chance of getting what you need.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

you don't want to sound pushy.<br>
<br>
You can, however, find a way to introduce the concept that you want to make it easy for them. Now the reality is that you probably can't do a thing for them on this,
<strong>BUT just saying this generous idea creates a willingness in the other party. </strong><b><br>
