Silence isn’t awkward – it’s powerful.
In this episode, I break down how strategic silence increases influence, authority, and control in conversations. Whether you’re in a meeting, negotiation, interview, or difficult discussion, knowing when not to speak can matter more than knowing what to say.
If you’ve ever talked too much, filled the silence too quickly, or weakened your position by over-explaining – this episode is for you.
🎯 In this video, you’ll learn: • Why silence makes people take you more seriously • How silence shifts power in conversations • When silence creates clarity – and when it creates leverage • How to use silence without seeming rude or unsure
This is a communication skill confident people use – intentionally.
