The idea of 'silence is gold' for a better presentation



When I want to convey my thoughts and thoughts through communication and presentation, I am averse to having words filled with silence, and I tend to fill in the gaps like 'uh'. However, the constant emission of sound is distracting to the listener and that the speaker also uses wasted energy, so 'silence is gold,' which also uses silence as a talk technique. The idea is introduced by ACM Ubiquity .

'Oel is silver, Silence is gold', telling that 'It is important to be eloquent but to know when to be silent is more important,' said the 19th century British thinker Thomas Carlisle . It is known as a word. The word 'silence is gold' is quoted and described by Philip Jaff, an essay on a series of communications at ACM Ubiquity, about mistakes that are likely to occur if you are inexperienced in the presentation.



The inexperienced speaker is afraid of the scene and the state of silence, so the gap to think about what to say next will be connected with 'Uh' or the content that can not be conceived will be 'that' or 'this'. I will try to get over it. According to Jaffe, these sounds are only unnecessary noises, and they are counterproductive to communication.

Trying to fill in the gaps with meaningless words is by thinking that 'I need time to think about it, as it is not always the case to say the following.' However, such unnecessary noise is rather distracting to think, and while pointing out to search in the head, Jaffe points out that the lungs, throat, mouth and ears are merely wasted. .



'A few seconds of silence will rather help draw the attention of the listener,' says Jaffe. No matter how entertaining and sophisticated the presentation is, listeners need a little break to organize and absorb information within themselves. In addition, it is an advantage of silence as a technique that it is easier to give a positive impression that the speaker understands the subject well, rather than giving a vague expression or a state in which the word 'uh' is embedded in the voice. .



It is inevitable that you will be anxious about silence in a place to speak words. However, by noticing the fear and not emitting extra noise, by thinking about the idea of “silence is gold”, you can make a better presentation that helps your thinking and attracts the audience's interest as well.
