Speak Less, Say More: The Art of the Intentional Pause in Communication

Most of us speak to fill space—to avoid silence, ease discomfort, or keep conversations moving. But what if the most powerful part of communication isn’t what you say… but what you don’t?

This month, Smart Talk for Women explores the transformative power of the intentional pause. Together, we’ll discuss how strategic silence can strengthen your presence, deepen your relationships, and help your message land with clarity and confidence.

In this session, we will explore how to:

  • Recognize when you speak out of habit rather than intention
  • Use silence as a tool for influence, connection, and leadership
  • Communicate with clarity instead of over-explaining
  • Bring confidence and calm into high-stakes conversations

    Experience how saying less can help you express more.

Takeaway: A guided Communication Reset Worksheet designed to help you refine habits, adopt power pauses, and feel more grounded in your conversations.


Facilitated by Sarah Vielot, M.S.

In addition to her work in the community, Sarah also teaches courses in nonprofit volunteer management, marketing, and mission–vision–purpose development, equipping emerging leaders with the tools to serve their organizations with confidence and impact.
