235: Why You Are Afraid Of The Awkward Silence

Do you ramble when you speak or say 'umm' a lot? It could be that you're terrified of the 'awkward silence'. Rather than being something to avoid, using silence is actually a powerful communication tool. In this episode, I share why silence and pausing are GOOD things, as well as practical strategies for practicing bringing more silence into your communication - whether you're public speaking, running a meeting or having a networking conversation.
