Do you use the words “like,” “so,” and “um” more often than you’d like? If so, this episode will teach you how to avoid using these words so you can speak with more confidence and impact. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming presentation, interview, or speech, you’ll learn strategies to avoid the use of filler words and create a better experience for you and your audience.
Today’s guest is Audrey Mann Cronin, an acknowledged communications expert in the tech industry, a women’s advocate, writer, creator of the community, Our Digital Daughters, and CEO/founder of Say It Media, Inc. Now that soft skills, like oral communication, account for the single greatest skill gap, she was motivated to create mobile app LikeSo: Your Personal Speech Coach to empower all of us to be better speakers. This app not only tracks your use of filler words, but helps you improve how you speak!
