To report on the use of fillers and
unnecessarily repeated words. Examples are um and ahs or other
"unseemly noises", over use of words/phrases like "and", "so",
"but", "you know", "basically" and others. As much as anything it is
an exercise in listening, and making you aware of how frequently
this habit invades our speaking.
Keep a tally of the count, person by
person, throughout the meeting.
When presenting
your report at the end of the night, avoid reading out all the names
on your list. You won't have time! Make it an exception report,
noting chief offenders or very good performers, including those who
have improved significantly or deserve some special mention.
If the meeting is
running close to or overtime, make your report concise.
Hand back to the
person who called you to the front, either the General Evaluator or
the Chairman.
