The pause is one of the more powerful tools in your Speaker’s Tool Box.
I posted a short video on the effective of a pause a few weeks ago. This is followup to that post to further expand on what I shared.
In this video I share a powerful example of how a student followed my advice and used a pause instead of making excuses when he ran out of thoughts on an impromptu topic he was speaking on. His pause lasted at least 7 seconds making the moment very memorable. So memorable that I am still talking about it more than 3 years later.
The pause is a powerful tool. Don’t underestimate its potential to improve your speaking.
