Silence Is A Powerful Communications Tool

Common Sense Career Advice

One of the hardest lessons any aggressive and ambitious person needs to master on the career path is that silence can be a powerful tool of communications. The traits required to make it to the top drive one to have strong opinions and to want to express them. However, there are many times when it is better to sit back and let others do the talking.

Think it through. It is not your responsibility to fill every vacuum of silence with noise. Let others speak. They may have something important to say. If they don’t and still speak, they may reveal their foolishness and you will look smarter.

Any good career counselor will say it’s better to have them wonder why you didn’t speak than why you did.

You can’t learn anything while you are talking.

I wish you career success!
