13. WHAT I LEARNED
I learned that having a continuous flow in the presentation is

Being prepared and knowledgeable as well as just being
generally comfortable helps prevent pausing and filler.

16. ADVICE
Always have a continuing flow. Know your material. Try to

thinking of what you’re going to say. Being articulate is
important but in order to be articulate you must first be
prepared.
