Do you talk faster when you’re nervous? Do you over-explain your point? Do you rush to fill silence in conversations?

What if the most powerful communication skill isn’t what you say… but when you stop talking?

In this episode, we explore the science and psychology behind the power of the pause — how intentional silence increases perceived confidence, authority, and competence. You’ll learn why calm pacing signals emotional control, how conversational dominance works without aggression, and why people who pause are taken more seriously in meetings, interviews, arguments, and everyday life.
