Mitchell Palmer says speakers kill their best moments by talking through the silence after a powerful statement. Let the room sit with it instead. That pause, which he calls Silence Number 3, is what separates good speakers from great ones.
Silence number 3, I call this after you speak. This one feels the most uncomfortable. When you say something powerful, your body wants to fill that silence. You want to soften it. You want to explain it. You want to make sure nobody is upset with you. That's where you lose power. Say your point, then let there be silence. Let people react. Let them sit with it. Let the room adjust to what you just said. That's what leaders do.
