You mentioned it briefly, but I think that it is your most important point - pause. All too often as we speak we are working very hard to remember the next thing that we want to say and so we end up speaking in a non-stop stream of words. A pause is a very powerful thing. If you take a moment to be quiet after you've made a point, that will give everything a chance to sink into your audience's heads and they will retain more. - Dr. Jim Anderson <a href="http://www.TheAccidentalCommunicator.com/" title="The Accidental Communicator Blog" rel="nofollow">The Accidental Communicator Blog</a> "Learn How To intimately connect with your audience in order to make an lasting impact in their lives."

A pause is a very powerful thing. If you take a moment to be quiet after you've made a point, that will give everything a chance to sink into your audience's heads and they will retain more.
