Eliminating Filler Words with Sarah Ewen

Thursday 9 December 2021




This week Sarah Ewen from Public Speaking for Life facilitated a GRC Institute virtual workshop on eliminating filler words.

While the importance the practice was emphasised throughout the session there are other key factors Sarah highlighted as essential to the process:
  • Mindset - ourselves, audience, and content
  • Structure – story telling, presentations
  • Delivery -body, language, eye contact
 
But what are Filler words?

Filler words as expressions that don’t  add any value to the message.
