Eliminating Filler Words [E011] - Speak Up!

Remarkable Results Radio Podcast

In this episode, we’re diving into the topic of filler words—those little sounds and phrases like "um," "uh," or "you know" that creep into phone calls, meetings, presentations, and everyday conversations. While nearly everyone uses filler words, they can become a problem when they’re habitual and detract from your message.

We’ll explore why filler words happen and their relation to anxiety or the fear of losing control in conversations.

The good news is that while filler words are natural, they can be simple to address once the problem is acknowledged! We’ll offer practical tips to help you break the habit, including the power of embracing pauses instead of feeling the need to fill every silence.

Whether you're in the aftermarket auto repair industry or any other profession, reducing filler words can help you communicate more clearly and confidently. Plus, we’ll touch on resources like Toastmasters that can help you sharpen your speaking skills.
