Description

This episode details how to eliminate filler words—crutches like “um” and “ah”—to sound more professional in your public speaking and podcast. Strategies include becoming aware of the filler words you use, replacing them with intentional silence and pauses, and slowing your speaking down so your brain can keep up. Prepare your main points and transitions well, and practice out loud, perhaps turning off the red recording light to ease anxiety.
