Speak slowly and use pauses between words to hold attention

Speak slowly and use pauses between words to hold attention

  • Take a pause when people most want to hear what you have to say.
  • You may worry that speaking slowly and pausing a lot will lead to people cutting you off. You can prevent this by continuing to speak in that same slow-speaking cadence until you're finished with your sentence.
  • Don't shout. Quiet words can carry massive weight.
