Silence speaks for itself. You may actually be speaking without words. Learn to pause, wait to get to the podium command the
people's attention with your silence and then start talking. I have learned that people like to listen to someone who they've found always silent. And when you talk there is absolute tranquity and rapturous attention.
On this post I am going to give you 5 ways your silence speaks volumes.
2. Build Your Personality : In most conversations, the priceless contribution needed from you is listening. Though listening is one hell of hard work that requires only three things, focus, patience and practice. Besides everyone wants to be heard in a conversation, making listening invaluable. No one can really learn anything when they don't pay attention. Through paying attention, you can take in the most knowledge as possible from others and you will continue to learn and grow. Choose your words, sieve your word to microwave it before responding to a particular comment or question. Don't be afraid to gather ground for your words before spilling them.
Your silence helps you choose your words appropriately especially in a job interview or a first time meeting with a client tells the interviewer or the client how conscious and thoughtful individual you are to reckon with. It's an applaud, it creates first time positive impression.
3. Massage Your Ego: silence demonstrates respect. Silence helps you to be the most articulate your personality can be. By being silent you show the person you are conversing with some respect and at the same time proven how civilized you're. By silence it will help you focus on the individual you're conversing, making your meeting/conversation more efficient and effective.
Talking always reduces you to nothing: listening more often earns you respect.
4. Let Action speak volumes:
Silence always speaks for itself. When you are silent, this doesn't mean in any way that you aren't communicating. Yes, you do communicate even in your world of silence. You have to master to listen up and allow the power in your silence act to speak volumes for you. Your body language matters and it can speak volumes. Body language even while standing can say more about you and your attitude.
When you stand arm crossed, fidgeting or even looking biased people find you uninterested and bored. But when you stand shoulder back, hand at your side or your hip people assume you are confident of yourself. Again when listening to someone eye contact is the key or main goal. It is an indicator that you are interested in what they are saying but when you keep wandering with your eyes around the whole place or room, it shows you are not listening.
Also your professional image speaks volumes about you just the way silence speaks volumes. Your dress code to a particular occasion or ceremony or conference or seminar matters. They way your dressing compliments a particular occassion, the more attention you will draw for yourself.
Silence brings honour to even the nonentity.
5. Noted worthy: people are prone to pay attention to you and find you worthy of their time and attention when your silence is implored. At times people may see it that you are giving attitude but no it's the best way to gather momentum. By just expression and articulation There is no way one can gain attention of people by first exhausting all at once and when it's the right time to talk keeps quiet to mop like a moron or talk to talk garbage by then you have already exhausted all your words. People no more long to listen to what you have got to speak or by then they are very much interested to hear from you but you haven't no right words to speak again. Your words became regardless.
Inculcate the habit to listen and value keeping silent than speaking. Silence most times is golden. The ability to pay much attention and speak a few words turns on the crowd.
