Beware, this episode is FULL of filler words. So, you know how, um, all of us fill the spaces, um, with, uh, extra words? Rene knows all about it too and takes on filler words, as well as the perfectionist removal of them entirely, in this episode.

 “Self awareness is a big key of this. We have to create awareness, most people don’t realize how much they use filler words until they start recording themselves.”

From the scientific cause of filler words, to the proven practices that can help make you aware of and able to eliminate them in your own speech, this episode will help any one who speaks in public or even addressing clients or customers on the phone and over Zoom. Don’t miss this opportunity to improve your impact today!
