Vous souhaitez devenir plus à l’aise à parler en public?

Le club St. Lawrence Toastmasters Montréal vous offre un environnement accueillant et sans risque pour vaincre votre peur et développer vos talents d’orateur à votre rythme. Venez nous rendre visite.

Nous sommes situés près du Marché Atwater et nos réunions ont lieu chaque mardi soir.

Voici le programme pour la soirée Toastmasters du 1er avril 2014.

Here is an interesting article giving useful tips on how to avoid using some of the dreaded filler words “Um” and “Uh” when speaking.

“Becoming Well-Spoken:
How to Minimize Your Uh’s and Um’s”

Although it’s from the website “The Art of Manliness", the article can apply to both sexes. It explains why we tend to use filler words and how they can be detrimental, and then gives suggestions that can help to minimize the use of such fillers.

Um and other filler words

Here is another interesting post related to the same subject:

“Um, Uh, and You Know:
Killer Fillers in Public Speaking”

Enjoy the read!
