Mastering Clear Communication- Use Less Filler Words And Speak With Impact

Welcome to another episode of The Speak In Flow

Podcast. Today we are going to delve into mastering your

communication by eliminating filler words. So you can have

more impact, we all strive to be an effective communicator. I

mean, that's why we're here. And yet sometimes of filler words,

they're pesky, they, they just come in, out of the blue, and

sometimes we don't even realise it. It's the filler words such

as you know, so I'm, like, Ah, so on so forth. They just come

in. And what we don't realise is that it does diminish our

message when we have too much. I mean, generally, they're

relatively harmless. If you have a couple here and there is

totally fine. It's more about connecting with your audience,

with your heart, and with your passion. However, if you are,

have too many of them, that means you're not as connected to

your message, and you're just doubtful, and your message can

become unclear. And then people start noticing the filler words

more than your message. So how do we eliminate those filler

words and speak with more confidence speak with more

And so when you're talking, you can have key points. But then

really just trusting your intuition trusting your voice.

influence? The first step is we want to be aware, yes, you want

And that will allow you to come in with more confidence to be

the authentic you. Because what is happening is when you are

talking from a script, and you're memorising it word for

to be mindful of it? And no, I'm not going to have you count

word, you're actually in your head, meaning you're thinking

about what to say you're thinking about the next word.

And when you're thinking and in your mind, you might also wander

them. Sometimes there have been strategies, or sometimes people

off to am I saying the right thing? Is that word Correct? Or

what are they, you know, thinking about me? Am I being

judged? So all of these thoughts are in your head. Great speakers

will say, Hey, you, you want to count the filler words, and the

come from a full embodiment. Mind, body, soul, your whole

passion, you everything about you is in it's all in not just

less words filler words that you use the treat, you know, treat

your mind, right? So you want to come in with your heart, your

mind, your soul, every part of you speak from that place.

And when you're just speaking with us through a script that

yourself, give yourself kudos. But you know, how many times

doesn't feel like that you'll feel more robotic and so we want

you to be natural. We want to to be okay with being in flow.

Being in a flow state. When you're flowing, you're really

have you paid attention to something, and then the more you

not in your head. You're more in your heart. You're speaking from

a more grounded place. You're trusting your voice, you're

trusting that you know the stuff that whatever you say is going

pay attention to something, the worse it gets, or you get real

to be great. And that requires you to let go of the script. The

script is a training wheel. And it's a crutch. So we want to let

go of that idea that we have to be perfect. And just trusting

frustrated? And and so my suggestion is actually

that you can connect with that inner dial, inner strength of

yourself. And that is when the filler words will leave. And

contradictory of counting them. I do want you to be mindful. But

when you're presenting, let's say you, you start to get

nervous again, and the filler words start to happen.

You go into a pause, that will allow you to gather yourself,

I don't want you to be mindful of counting filler words, I want

you will appear intentional to your audience. And that will

slow your your voice down your pace down, and then the filler

words disappear. When you're at a good pace, when you're

you to be mindful of where you're at, like, where your

it feels like a good pace. And then the audience is able to

centres at where your mind is that where your body's at? Are

receive what you're saying the filler words just naturally

disappear. They dissolve, they're gone, because you're

just so confident and you feel confident you're in your body,

you connected to your competence? Are you connected to

in your intuition and using allowing the words just flow

through you. And that is what a great speaker does. And that is

the feeling of being confident inside, because what is

when you can connect your words to your audience. That is when

you can look at one person in the audience and truly connect

to their eyes. And then look at another person in the audience

and truly connect to the second person's eyes, and have a

about a performance. It's not about being perfect, and having

all the specific beautiful, perfect language, because that's

that everyone has, you have it, it's just a matter of

So remember, having a clear communication requires that
