While Speaking; Successful People Use Pauses to Their Advantage!



Using pauses is a good strategy that helps successful people speak slower, which is a great skill, however, it's effective in its own right. 

Work on creatively using pauses to give more impact to your speaking.

For example, if you have an opening for a public presentation that's eight sentences long and you make a significant point after sentence three, throw in a sizable seconds-long pause.

It will add more weight to whatever your last sentence was and give you audience time to soak it in.

It also gives you a chance to collect your thoughts and prepare for the next section of your speech, adding to the total amount of authority and confidence you project.

Loosen Control!

  The world is moving at such a pace that control has become a limitation. It slows you down. Loosen, not lose.   - Jack Welch
