Re: Learning to communicate
[ QUOTE ]
Also, consider what you say while you're thinking. If you're nervous, you might fill your pauses with something like "er" or "um," which is bad. People will remain attentive for a surpising amount of time if you say nothing at all during a break in your speech.

Actually, some will and some won't. Maybe part of his problem is that he's has too many people he's talking to that jump in when there's a pause. Takes me back to my previous comment about saying less and having it hold more "weight" when you do say something.
