Michael: Think about a symphony conductor.
5
:
Before the first note
plays, they don't rush.
6
:
They lift their baton, hold
it in the air, and pause.
7
:
Just for a moment.
8
:
But they pause.
9
:
Why?
10
:
Because in that silence,
something magical happens.
11
:
The orchestra focuses.
12
:
The audience leans in.
13
:
Anticipation builds.
14
:
And when the music starts, it has power.
15
:
Would they have started to
play into the noise, that power
16
:
would be completely missing.
17
:
In communication, it's the same.
18
:
Most people rush to fill the silence,
starting as soon as they can.
19
:
But the secret is to do the opposite.
20
:
The pause before you begin is just
as important as the message itself.
21
:
You focus.
22
:
The audience leans in.
23
:
Anticipation builds.
24
:
And when you start to speak, it has power.
25
:
It also signals confidence.
26
:
What I am going to say is important.
27
:
This brief moment of pause sets the
stage for your words to land with impact.
28
:
So, the next time you're
about to speak, don't rush!
29
:
Take a breath!
30
:
Pause!
31
:
Let them lean in!
32
:
And then, deliver your words
with much bigger impact!
33
:
Keep lighting the path!
34
:
And share this with a friend!
