Like, Ahhh, You Know?


"Like" "ahhh" & "you know" are highly popular words that many, many people may not realize are seriously compromising the efficacy of their message(s).

Think of the great orators and greatest speeches in American history and imagine if they had said...

"Like, the only thing, you know, we have to fear, is like, ahhh, fear itself."

or

"Ahhh, Mr. Gorbachev, like, tear down this wall!"

Several of my clients are professionals who wish to improve their public speaking skills. If you would like for me to attend and provide gentle, yet constructive and useful feedback at your next speech, contact me today.
