Functionary Cue Cards:
Ah Counter
Role/Function:
Count and make note of the words or sounds
that each speaker uses as a crutch or pause-filler. Use
the clicker provided (found in the AH Counter can) to provide
immediate feedback to speakers alerting them to the use
of fillers. Do not click during prepared speeches or speeches
given by guests, but do keep track of filler use and report
at the end of the meeting. You may want to encourage speakers
to not acknowledge the clicker (such as a thanks or apology)
or their use of fillers but instead continue speaking as
though it never occurred.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Listen for words like so, and, well, you
know
-
Listen for sounds like er, um, ah
-
Listen for repetitive words or phrases
like "I, I", "Well, well"
Penalty:
A penalty of 5 cents will be incurred for
each infraction, with a maximum charge of 25 cents. Guests
are exempt.
