Excerpts from this episode about the pause:
Pause for Power: Why you need to become comfortable with silence!Do you remember that cliché “Silence is Golden”?
There are times when you might appreciate some silence in your life. On the other hand, silence can feel disquieting, disturbing and anxiety ridden.
When you are speaking to an audience you might consider silence the enemy or the sign of a bad presentation.
Imagine that you get lost in your thoughts and stop speaking. You go silent and anguish while trying to recover and start speaking again.
You might even feel that any noise is preferable to silence. That’s when the umms and ahhs escape your lips.
Don’t panic. Consider the positive benefits of pauses in your presentation. Even an unplanned pause can be perceived as a positive light.
Imagine how you can improve the power of your presentation by inserting tactical pauses throughout the presentation. The ability to pause might be the most important technique that all speakers need to learn.
It might sound simple but like many simple lessons, it’s not easy.
It can be extremely difficult to pause when you are delivering a presentation. You might feel compelled to speak because you believe silence is the enemy. You perceive pausing as a sign of weakness. The reality is that silence could be your most powerful communication tool.
Perhaps you’re not convinced. That’s understandable. Consider these examples and reasons to pause during your presentation.
Let’s follow the advice from Simon Sinek and start with the why.
