The Power of Pausing

Incorporate deliberate pauses in your communication. A pause before responding shows you're considering what was said. A pause during speaking adds emphasis and allows listeners to process important points. These moments of silence make your communication more impactful.

Do this today

Practice intentionally pausing for 2-3 seconds before responding in your next conversation.
