Have you ever been asked a question at work and felt like you had to answer immediately?
You don't.
When you're caught off guard, a short pause gives you time to understand the question, organise your thoughts and choose your words.
Instead of filling the silence with “umm…”, “I think…” or a rushed response, try:
“That's a good question. Let me think about that for a moment.”
Then pause and gather your thoughts before responding.
Remember, you don't have to be the fastest person to answer. You need to be clear.
A thoughtful pause can make you sound more composed, confident and intentional.
You're Welcome 😄
