A short spoken tip from TJ Walker advising presenters on what to do when they momentarily forget what to say: stay calm, pause, appear relaxed, and use the first similar word that comes to mind so the audience won’t notice. The clip focuses on practical delivery technique for live presentations.
So what do you do? You're giving a presentation and talking. All of a sudden, you can't think of the next word you want to use. Do you panic? Do you apologize? Do you start to sweat? Here's the magic secret. Just pause. Look relaxed, comfortable. Don't let anyone know you're thinking, oh, what's the next word? And instead, use the first word that comes to you. Anything similar, no one else will know the difference.
