Much like watching your language, professionally expressing yourself is equally as important. It is crucial to be articulate when expressing your opinions and ideas. This means avoiding fillers such as “um” and “uh” and choosing your words wisely to get your point across as direct as possible. Stumbling over your words or not knowing how to properly articulate your thoughts shows a lack of confidence and knowledge about what you’re talking about.

This isn’t just for typical office conversations either. If you’re in charge of presenting something or speaking in front of a group, practice beforehand and be prepared. This way you’ll be comfortable and confident when the time comes.
