The Important of the Pause
Howard Nations reminds us that sometimes the most important thing a lawyer can say is nothing.
The pause serves two major purposes for the orator:
First, the pause allows the statement immediately preceding it to soak in thoroughly; and secondly, the pause will recapture the minds of those who have strayed and cause those who have been listening to pay more close attention to the statement that follows the pause.
Often, inaction is the most effective means of nonverbal communication, i.e., the use of the emphatic pause.
Well said. Click on the link and read the rest of Howard’s well written article.
