If you go “uhm” and “uh” and “well” and “so” too much, it makes you look insecure. Instead of using fillers, use SILENCE. That makes you look PRESENT and POWERFUL. I’ve conditioned myself to stop using fillers as often as I catch them. Injecting space/silence allows listeners to process what’s been said. It draws attention to you because the listener is expectant of what’s next.
