Imagine being on stage or in a meeting, pouring out all the wisdom you’ve got, only to realize your audience’s attention is slipping away faster than you can say “next slide.”
 
It’s not your message; it’s your pace.

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked secrets in public speaking that can transform your impact instantly: the power of the pause.
 
Whether you’re a naturally fast talker or just get carried away in the moment, learning to embrace those small pockets of silence can be the difference between a speech that resonates and one that races by.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why our brains process words faster than we hear them—and how to use that gap to your advantage
• How pauses create tension, hold attention, and make your audience lean in for more
• Practical tips to add intentional pauses into your presentations or everyday conversations (without feeling awkward!)
• Quick techniques to calm your nerves so you feel confident enough to embrace the silence

Pausing with intention isn’t about leaving empty space; it’s about letting your message breathe and giving your audience time to soak in every word. 

In fact, studies show that strategic pauses can boost retention by up to 20%! 

So, if you’re ready to stop speeding through your speeches and start connecting in a way that leaves a lasting impact, this episode is for you.
