At his blog, Seth Godin talked about the fermata. This musical notation gives conductors liberty to determine how long to hold a pause. Godin applies that to public speaking. It's good advice for preachers too.
- When we finally have the attention of an audience, our instinct is to rush.
- If you've got something to say, say it. Slowly. With effect.
- No, don't waste their time.
- If you have to rush to say it, it might not be worth saying.
