Most speakers rush to fill every gap, afraid silence means failure. This makes the case for the opposite: why a well-placed pause commands more attention than any word, how it gives listeners room to actually absorb what you said, the difference between an awkward stall and a confident break, and simple ways to practice holding still when everything in you wants to keep talking. Calm, clear, and worth returning to before your next talk.
