I think that for some people, they can grab a mic and it's very ad hoc.

And sometimes I do that, but I also have no problem with rehearsing something that's really important to me and getting it down pat in a way that I feel comfortable with.

It doesn't work for everyone, but for me, I like to come prepared.

And that's something that I tend to do.

Steve Jobs is someone who I rewatch his speeches.

I rewatch his announcements.

And I'm noticing the through line is people who make very intentional pauses.

And whether that's planned or whether that's because they are genuinely thinking, I think President Obama does it as well.

And so those are the types of styles.

I don't think I communicate anything like either of those two.

But they are voices that I could listen to on repeat.

And there's a rhythm and it feels like there's a call to action, even if there isn't one in the actual message.

The call to action to come back and to listen and to learn and to be inspired.

So I'd say those are two voices that I could put on repeat.

And can I ask you about the pause?

So what is it with the power of the pause?

Is it intentional or does it seem like it's natural or do you encourage people to pause more?

The topic has to matter to you or be something that you feel called to speak about.

I'd say the second...

What is the take-home message that you want people to be leaving with if there was just one idea?
