An underrated public speaking skill is the ability to stop talking.
I'm in a meeting right now where several speakers in a row have made excellent points in the first 40 seconds, and then just kept talking, repeating the same information over and over in different words, adding nothing, for several more minutes. It's like watching a student pilot too terrified to land the plane. Just stop talking, it's okay.
