<span>Careful transitions are an important part of preparation. Most speakers have problems with using "um," "and," "and uh," and "you know" or some similar nonsensical utterance as they falter toward their next point. This is primarily because they don't have a smooth manner of getting to their next point. That's why transitions are so important. A transition is a bridge from Point A to Point B—a connection between two points. If you learn to use specific transitions, you will improve the fluency of your speech as well as avoiding the verbalized pauses and unnecessary words. Good transitions demonstrate a command of language, thus enhancing your credibility.</span>
