Webinar “How to Choose Your Words and Stop Saying ‘Um’ (and ‘like’, ‘kinda’...)”

Published: February 4, 2026; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

Learn how to cut “um,” “like,” and vague language with tools to speak clearly and confidently under pressure.

If you’ve ever cringed at your own filler words — or been told to “just slow down” — this session is for you.

In this live webinar, GK Senior Executive Coach LeRoy McClain breaks down why we use filler words, what they signal to others, and how to replace them without losing your natural voice.

You’ll leave with:

• Practical tools to eliminate “ums,” “likes,” and vague qualifiers
• A better understanding of how word choice impacts executive presence
• A more confident and clear communication style — under pressure

This is one of GK’s most requested sessions, now available live and online.

Time: 12:00 pm EST
