Have you ever played golf? or tennis? or baseball? Any body who has played a sport that involves a swing, has heard of the importance of the follow through. Basically you can’t swing part way. You have to keep going. A similar idea can help you improve your public speaking ability. Most people make too much use of so called “filler words” when they speak. These words can include “um,” “like,” “so” and many others. Really it includes any word that does not have a specific job to do in your speech. Business - List of business/finance/loan/mortgage resources Computers - List of computer hardware/software/peripheral resources Internet - List of webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing resources Software - List of software resources Web Design - List of web design/development resources Web Hosting - List of web hosting resources Web Promotion - List of search engine optimization/internet marketing resources Web Resources - List of other web resources Recreation - List of travel/hotel/cruise resources Casino - List of online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette resources Health - List of online pharmacy/hospital/health resources Shopping - List of online shopping/gift resources Miscellaneous - List of all other resources not stated above
This is where the concept of the follow through comes in handy! I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Nobody knows what word you meant to use. Its not the specific word you had in mind that is important. What matters is getting your message across! Practice trying to spot when you are struggling to remember a word. The pause you create at this instant, is where filler words creep in. Filler words cut into the creditability of your presentation. |
