This week’s message has to do with what I have come to refer to as “the pause.” The idea for today’s podcast originated from an email I received from Alan Weiss earlier in the week. Alan is a highly respected business coach, speaker and consultant.
In his particular email he was talking about the importance of listening before responding. I was immediately reminded of a lesson I learned long ago as a professional speaker of how the proper use of silence can enhance your everyday communications.
The particular tactic featured in today’s podcast is affectionately known as “the pause.”
Take a listen and you will soon see exactly what I’m talking about.
