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!
