Leaders and communicators must demonstrate poise, control and confidence in order to maintain trust. In moments of high stress, high pressure and anxiety, the natural response is to speak more quickly, articulate more sharply and often with louder voices and harsher tones. This behavior is often unconscious and can destroy the level of influence, credibility and authority someone has worked so hard to build in only a matter of seconds. The power of the pause is a tool well deployed to demonstrate composure and mutual respect. Mentor Lens: Teach young adults the art of silence to emphasize core insights, command attention, and project calm authority under pressure. ️ Become a Narrative Warrior : https://square.link/u/EjN7MBDL ABOUT J.
