Do you say “uh” too much?

Many times we don’t realize how our verbal graffiti words can kill the way we speak. Many people (during the election) talked about how great of a speaker Obama is. Well, opinion’s can change when we start using words that just don’t do anything, but distract from what we are saying. I’m not the best at this, but my word of advice to all is to kill these type of filler words from your communication and it might just make you look better. What are your filler words? Mine is “like” like everything is like totally awesome.

Tonight’s blog comes from a presentation from Tim Koegel. I had the great privilege of listening to him live tonight and I’m sure I will share more on the Exceptional Presenter in coming weeks.
