David Julian Price says don't stop mid-sentence to rephrase what you're saying. Pausing to edit yourself weakens credibility and kills your energy. Confident speakers finish their thought, then move on.

This is tip number 89. Don't edit yourself mid-sentence. Some people start speaking, and then halfway through they think, oh, I really need to say that a little differently. And so they fumble their words a little, and it doesn't come across as strong or credible. But confident people say their sentences right to the very end. They keep the same energy going with the sentence until the end. And that builds their confidence because the feedback is always positive. Don't edit your sentences halfway through.
