How To Own Silence as a Leader - The Nine Second Rule

Send us a text   Silence isn’t weakness. It’s a weapon.  The greatest leaders and speakers know that words matter, but pauses matter more. Nervous speakers rush; they fill every second with noise. Powerful speakers pause, and in that pause, they create tension, authority, and a sense of presence.  Silence isn’t empty; it’s magnetic. It sharpens your message, draws people in, and makes every word count. Today, I’m going to show you how to own silence like a leader so your presence speaks even when you’re not saying a word. Silence is not the absence of words; it"s the presence of authority. Love to highlight you and your business on my podcast? Support the show Sheena here.
