Alpha’s presenting a series of videos about improving speaking skills. Aaron Marino of alpha m. discusses filler words: um, like, you know what I mean, ya know, uh, oh my gosh. Do you use any of these? Using filler words makes you sound unsure, unconfident, and unprofessional.
Alpha used to use “um” all the time. He asked Tracey to point it out every time he used it. He became hyper-aware of using “um” and eventually he kicked the filler word habit by correcting himself. Kicking the filler work habit is the first step to improving your communication capacity.
