Featured Story

Carey Professor Promotes Powerful Public Speaking

Steven D. Cohen, assistant professor and academic program director for the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School's Executive Education program, has been a passionate proponent of powerful public speaking throughout his academic career. To him, "um" and other tentative terms are what he describes as "filler words," often used in informal conversation but problematic for formal settings, where their use can muddy the clarity and blunt the impact of one's message.
