7. Use statements like, “that’s a really good
question,” or “I’m glad you asked me that,” to buy
yourself a few moments to organize your
response.
The audience will not know you are using these
filler sentences to reorder your thoughts? And
even if they do, it still makes the presentation
more smooth than um’s and ah’s littering your
answer.

are waiting for you to speak.

your slideshow and make sure there won’t be
any glitches.
Preparation can do a lot to remove your
speaking anxiety.
