**Ever feel like your conversations hit a wall and go nowhere?**
What if you could turn every interaction into a compelling narrative that leaves a lasting impression?
**Here’s a tip**: *Strategically use pauses.* Neuroscience shows that well-timed pauses can enhance your storytelling by creating anticipation and giving your audience time to absorb information. Pauses can make your stories more dramatic and engaging.
**Try this storytelling hack**: Next time you’re sharing a story or point, use a strategic pause to emphasize key moments. For example, instead of rushing through your story, say, “And then… everything changed.” *Pause.* “The client decided to double their order.” This technique builds suspense and makes the revelation more impactful.
**Your action step**: Think about a story or point you want to share. Identify where you can insert a strategic pause to heighten drama or impact. Practice this and notice how it transforms your storytelling and keeps your audience hanging on every word.
