Slow. Down. I bet you're talking faster than realize. I challenge you to do the following. Before you even start breathing to speak, fully think what you're going to say in your mind. You'll think you'll speaking stupidly slow. So... I challenge you to record yourself doing this and watch it back. What you'll find is that you sound authoritative, like a professor. The reality is that you have a massive amount of time to think before you speak. So even if you lose your train of thought mid- sentence, you have plenty of time to figure out what's going on and think about what to say next.
