Confidence & Gravitas

What’s one of the quickest ways of exuding confidence and gravitas?

Perhaps it’s talking more, persuading people, domineering, or showing off industry knowledge?

There is another tool at your disposal however, one that requires much less work and is the very opposite of the above. It can have huge impact if used properly.

That tool is to pause...

Pausing will help you to:

· Stop filling in gaps

· Resist any fillers

· Stop justifying

When you do this, you will elevate yourself and remove any perceived insecurities.

The ability to pause and be comfortable in doing so is to be present.

When you do speak people will be more inclined to listen. You will command more authority.
