Questions: Which statement is an example of powerful speech? Our team is really very capable. We, uh, could ask some of the team to work overtime. We can get the product to market faster if we implement some process improvements. I'm not an expert in marketing, but maybe an email blast would help raise awareness. I guess we could add another developer to the team.
