Giving P A U S E in your Conversation!

I pause for a moment by reflecting on Pause!

I have been using Pause for some time but unconsciously in our coaching conversation and training.

When I have come to know about the use of Pause, I feel wow! Now I have to use the same Pause Consciously!

In coaching, it is essential to give Pause! Why?

Silence is Golden!

Alan Alda says, “It is the space between the lines that make it a great performance.”

Why Pause?

Pauses can enhance delivery or be filled needlessly and perplex the audience. I had a mixed approach with Pause!

The pause permits the speaker to pick up thoughts before presenting the ultimate proposal: pause just before the assertion, figure out about what you choose to convey, and thus pass your final proposal with renewed power.

Pause prepares the audience to obtain your theme: pause and address the attention powers of your audience a rest. The thought that follows a pause is considerable higher influential than if no pause had followed.

Pause creates effective suspense: suspense can generate better engagement, curiosity in our coaching conversation. The crowd will choose to discover the resolution or what took place if you pause before the conclusion.

Pause after an essential thought: pausing gives the audience space to transform what you have just said before you advance with your transmission.

Pausing after proposing a query is again an excellent technique because it forces them to realize and mentally involves them in your conversation.

Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom. Francis Bacon

What are the types of Pause?

Use the sense pause to grant individuals to understand the original message and catch up with you.

Use the dramatic pause to establish a point that sticks in the audience’s minds.

Use an emphatic pause to highlight a significant objective.

Use the sentence-completion pause to establish a statement or quote a line in which everybody is conversant, thus let the audience answer it for you.

If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet…maybe we could understand something. Federico Fellini

Try it, it is tough!

But with practice Pause will become natural in our flow of conversation!
