I recently gave a virtual presentation to members of the ATD Charlotte Area on the reasons for developing speaker training programs for technical staff. More versatile technical staff, better communication with others, more productive businesses, the reasons are numerous! Think your organization could benefit from learning more about this topic? Email me at [email protected]. Also, check out the featured section of my profile, as I write on the topic.


PUBLIC SPEAKING TIP

Embrace pauses to replace filler words like "um" or "uh." Pausing gives you time to collect your thoughts and signals confidence to your audience. A brief moment of silence allows listeners to process your message and makes your delivery more impactful. Practice pausing intentionally while practicing a talk to build the habit and feel comfortable with silence while speaking.


All for now. Have a great week!
