This Episode emphasizes the importance of pausing and leaving space for others to absorb information and engage with the things we’re speaking about.

Whether you’re an advisor that talks themselves out of a sale - or an enthusiastic and passionate speaker that just has a hard time remembering to breathe, you’ll find yourself in good company listening and learning on this topic. 

Pausing is HARD.

Experienced speakers and beginners all benefit from regular practice.

In this episode 

1.)  Craig shares recordings from a recent toastmasters meeting where two separate speakers received valuable feedback on pauses.

2.)  Craig discloses some of his own struggles with pauses and some surprising places this comes up.

3.)  We explore why we who struggle have a hard time pausing!

4.)  We’ll wrap up with some of the benefits of pausing!

  • Pausing makes your message more clear and lets your audience process details from your presentation.
  • Helps people retain and remember what you are saying better. 
  • A more comfortable rhythm is achieved that makes listening easier. 
  • Breath Control.  Like running - you perform better when you are not out of breath!  When your breath is under control you’ll maintain your place in have more organized thoughts. 
  • Aids in transitions for key segments of your speech or presentation. 
  • MOST critically - if you pause long enough - this will open up audience engagement.

Remember:  People are POLITE - They may not always be comfortable interrupting you!  Give them some room to speak up next time you are speaking up!
