What Difference 3 Seconds Make

Have you ever seen how politicians, CEOs and other famous people react during an interview after being asked an important question? They pause... for at least 3 seconds.

This 3 seconds technique is a very basic method but you would see it differentiates the mediocre interviewee from the great ones. Why is that?

The 3 seconds technique gives you sufficient time to

a. control your emotions. 1 second.
b. complete the translation of the question and straighten your thoughts. 1 second.
c. form in your mind how you would like to deliver your response with your intent in mind. 1 second

The 3 second technique gives its user better credibility and control and it gives the message better form and impact. Truly - what a difference 3 seconds make.
