Umms and Ahhhs - Insights From a Motivational Speaker

Another stupid little thing that changed my life…

I used to umm and aah a lot when speaking.

Now I don’t.

Why?

I did this one ridiculously simple thing…

I closed my mouth in between thoughts.

Umm’s and aah’s can’t come out.

Instead of thinking what to say next, I thought ‘close your mouth.’

It didn’t make me smarter but it stopped me standing there with my mouth open making unintelligible noises.

That’s a good start.

This simple thing has changed my life.

If we haven’t met yet…

I never considered myself good at change until I went from

-average shot to army sniper

-home movies to National Geographic cameraman

-fumbling card tricks to a professional magician

-never swinging a hammer to building a home

-high school dropout to published author

-business illiterate to building & selling a business

-stutterer to motivational speaker

Turns out I know how to change, I know how to make it simple, and I know how to stand on stage & make it fun so others want to do it too.
