Are Fillers Causing Your Audience to Lose Interest?

There is an interesting post on Lisa Braithwaite's blog, ah, um, discussing the use of filler words. In some cases, presentations peppered with excessive filler words can be down right distracting.

What about you --- Do you find yourself counting ah's and ums when listening to speakers? See what others have to say about filler words.

Hey Ron, thanks for linking to my post! Opinions on the use of fillers will always be divided, but it's a fun discussion!
