What Happens When You Don’t Fill the Silence?
Ever notice how fast you jump in to fill a quiet moment? But what if silence isn’t something to avoid, it’s something to use. In this episode, I’m digging into why silence might be the most powerful thing you don’t say. Whether you’re negotiating, leading a meeting, or just having a one-on-one, those few seconds of quiet could be the difference between misunderstanding and connection. I’ll walk you through the research, the mindset shift, and why silence isn’t awkward. It’s intentional.
You’ll never sit in a pause the same way again.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
- How even a 3-second pause can shift the outcome of a conversation
- Why silence builds trust and creates space for collaboration
- What happens in your brain (and theirs) when you stop talking
