Ever had a mind blank while speaking?
Don’t panic! Here are two quick ways to handle it like a pro:
1. Pause and Rephrase:
Take a breath, pause confidently, and say something like, “Let me rephrase that,” or “Here’s what I really want to emphasize.” 🗣️ This buys you time and keeps you in control.
2. Engage Your Audience:
Shift the focus by asking a question. Try, “What has been most valuable for you so far?” or “What’s been a revelation for you today?” 🤔 This gives you time to reset and makes your audience feel involved.
Mind blanks happen, but now you’re prepared! 💪🎤
