“Like,…”

I was at a presentation recently; the speaker was capable and clearly knew her subject matter. But I kept hearing “like.” “I was thinking, like..” “I felt, LIKE…” The filler was distracting! Do you fnd yourself using non-words or fillers when you are talking? Most of us are unaware of how much we use them, and how they dillute or messages and diminish our impact. Here’s a simple tip: RECORD YOURSELF. While you are on a phone call or zoom call, just hit record. If that isn’t possible, lay your phone down at dinner with someone, and record. Knowledge leads to power!
