03 Feb Strategic PAUSES Can Take Your Speaking Abilities to The Next Level

When you attend our intense 1-day or 2-day workshop (webinar) like we’ve this week or 6-week/12-week coaching on public speaking, you’ll get so many insights, tools, approaches, strategies, and tactics that equip you to increase your confidence exponentially, connect with your audience at a deeper level, appear credible, authentic, change minds and hearts.

Let me give you a tip that doesn’t require much effort and practice except being MINDFUL. When you incorporate this in your speeches, you will see tremendous improvements, and people will immediately notice the difference.

It is about taking STRATEGIC PAUSES throughout your speech.

If you undermine PAUSES, it’s like a musician ignoring the spaces between the music Notes. As much as the Notes are critical to enjoying a beautiful melody, so are the spaces between these notes. Likewise, as much as your words are crucial to achieving your goals as a speaker, the strategic PAUSES you take are equally significant.

1. If you’re a beginner, it will calm you down when you experience the butterfly in the stomach, and you look poised on the outside.

2. If you use too many filler words and distract your audience from your message, it helps you reduce the number of um, well, actually, you know, like, and so on.

3. If you are a seasoned speaker, PAUSES can help you highlight and emphasize your key messages. For instance, after a punch line, take a PAUSE, giving the audience time to process what you just said.

As you can see, this is just a simple tip that you can apply in your next presentation to see immediate results. Imagine what you, your team, and your organization would get if you signed up for our workshops, webinars, and/or coaching programs.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced speaker, we can help you take your public speaking to the next level QUICKLY…
