“Discover the Surprising Times When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words, According to Experts!”
Let me give you an example. Once, during a heated debate with a colleague, I realized that my points were simply not being heard or acknowledged.
Instead of escalating the situation further, I chose to stay silent. That silence, in a sea of noise, spoke volumes. It communicated that I would not engage in a fruitless argument.
Famed psychologist Albert Mehrabian’s work on communication suggested that words only account for 7% of our overall communication. The rest is conveyed through our tone of voice and body language, including silence.
