Kawartha Lakes Toastmasters

Did you know there are methods to avoid the annoying uhms and ahs as well as other filler words such as inappropriate so’s, like, yeah etc
We all know that pausing and thinking before you speak works But here is something I discovered worked for me:
Do this:
Try to dictate your messages and you will discover the “FILLERS” as they will show up in your dictations. Then you correct these by taking them out. Including the ‘’like’ inappropriate ‘so’ and ‘Yeah’.
Now you are aware. Keep up the dictating emails and messages until you no longer have filler words.

And smile.

Thank you everyone who attended and participated with great gusto at our phenomenal Open House Spring Time Zoom meeting today March 22, 2025.

Attendance of 16. Extraordinary guest speaker Shishir Lakhani delivering his speech “Emotions a conundrum”. He truly had a captive audience and received lots of emojis.
Our guests participated with comfort in our table topic session that was run by our very capable Sandy Robinson.
Wonderful testimonies from two of our members.
Good evaluations for the speakers and table topics.
Our club coach Jitesh had nothing but praise. Oh that feels so good.
Great enthusiastic team work does pay off.

So proud of Kawartha Lakes Toastmasters.

KLTM YOU ROCK
