Vlog #5 - Pause Fillers

In this video, try to count how many 'Um's & 'Ok's you can catch me saying to fill in sentence gaps.

We must resist the temptation of using pause fillers because they do result in the reverse effect we want. Often, we use pause fillers because we "feel" we need to say something to fill in space when in fact the opposite is true.

Pause fillers actually communicate uncertainty, a lack of confidence or conviction. So we must work hard to throw them out the door. And we can improve that by doing vlogs.

Also, in this video, I talked briefly on HF1 and the new Steem proposal system. I give a brief explanation of the heartbeat behind this project and my hopes that the community will reciprocate with their support.
