45、 compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially cant stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So, whats the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Dont offer a compromise just because they are not

46、speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “Whats your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Lets come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more

47、effective than dramatic passion (熱情). Before starting, look at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “Im in control. I know what Im doing. Im confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you d

48、idnt miss his key points. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that wed better pay attention, theres something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking youre spoon feeding. Give people a

49、 moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of sil
