Episode 212: The Power of Silence
Manage episode 439360038 series 2880729
Silence can at times seem uncomfortable and invite uncertainty. Does the speaker know what they are talking about; can they navigate and respond to challenging questions; why do they appear so nervous?
How can silence be used strategically to your advantage? How can pausing for a brief moment, grant permission to 'soak' in what has been shared, set the stage for transitioning to the next point or even be used to reset or reframe your thoughts?
We discuss the power of silence and how this can be effective for overcoming those dreaded 'filler words', control the rhythm and set the stage for you to shine as the subject matter expert - SME. A well-timed pause can also present an opportunity to emphasize key points and evoke emotion. Don't forget the impact of silence through your body language.
