Why ‘errr’ is OK for public speakers

Lovely post from Simon Raybould on his refreshingly opinionated blog- ‘Telling People’.  He makes the point that ‘errr’ is a natural human sound that people make when they’re looking for the next word, and most people in our audiences don’t notice it, but lots of presentation trainers do.

His thesis being  ‘a little bit is fine’ – To errrr, is human, I guess you could say.  Simon then goes on to suggest, correctly in my view, that presentation coaches can get narrow in what they work on with their clients.  Here’s the blog and a recommendation that you read lots of it.

And here’s my thoughts on other things that presentation coaches tell us to do without good reason
