- As technology advances and information flows at lightning speed, we find ourselves facing an internal struggle to respond instantly. But have you ever wondered if immediate answers are always the key? Stelios Stavrianos will explore the remarkable power of silence in communication. Whether it’s through written words or spoken language, silence has the potential to profoundly transform our interactions. Imagine choosing not to speak, embracing those thoughtful pauses, or even interrupting a conversation to revisit it at a later time. These acts of silence can work wonders in fostering deeper understanding and connection.

Awesome...the sound of silence !
It can be a very beautiful sound indeed
I agree with Stelios! Silence is awesome!
Thank you!
Excellent talk and profoudly true.
Thanks Daniel
Sheesh, I hated that… (pause)… NOT!
Great work👏👏👏
Thank you!
I completely agree with everything you have said here. It's something we aren't taught. We learn to speak and from then it's so easy to keep filling that void. We're taught silence is awkward and usually fill the gap with a question or comment about something unrelated. I know personally I catch myself making noises to fill that space. I'll do a silly gesture or something to cut the tension. It's completely subconscious but this talk definitely reminded me to be more aware and to lean in to the silence more!
It was a pleasure watching you talk. Very impressive
Thank you very much!
Love this!!
Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks!
Awesome job great Ted Talk!
Thank you so much. What was your biggest take-away?
Stelios,
It has been several years since I first met you and after meeting you I new you were destined from great things. I am very proud of you and the great success you have had.

I may be a bit biased, but I can agree with almost every point made during this TED talk!
I love this concept!
Amazing! Proud of you, Stelios!
It's so important to use silence in negotiating too, like when offered a job. Great talk!
Silence is such a critical component of negotiation. The golden rule = "He who speak first loses"
I never realized how much I say um and like until watching this. Makes you wonder
Good job man! 💪🏼
I’ve never gone wrong with advice from Stelios. The importance of silence is one of the best!!
Awe-inspiring! Best relationships are those where silence is appreciated.
I totally agree! Thanks for watching and taking part in the discussion
"Silence gives someone permission to say what they want" -- wow
Wow is right. If we're always speaking, we're not listening.
Phenomenal
It’s like learning to play the piano, practice makes perfect! “Silence gives someone permission to say what they want” love this!! We should all take the time to practice silence in communication and give ourselves the opportunity to really listen to others. Thanks for this Stel!
I couldn't agree more. In a world filled with distractions, noise, and *instant* communication, we could all use more thoughtful silence.
This is amazing! So informative and on point. Loved it!
Very insightful topic! I think we can all use a bit more silence.
I couldn't agree more!
I have lived in silence for more than half a decade. How much more of it do I need? I hate living like this and find silence to be a form of abuse.
Love this talk!! Such a fresh perspective on the importance of silence
Thank you!
I was going to say something, but decided to be silent instead
Lol -- good one!
Sure wish I’d learned this and also how to not be REACTIVE and appear crazy
Great take aways in your well executed speech. Silence is like it’s own language. It’s a learned behavior. This is eye opening and impacts many professions and all relationships. ❤
Thank you! Yes, silence is a learned behavior. Some learn it at a young age, some learn it at an older age, and some go their whole lives not realizing the importance of it.
The concept of Silence is powerful. Great insight!
I disagree. Asking better questions is the key to understanding motives.
Don’t you need to be silent and listen after you ask a great question?
Thanks for your critical feedback. If I may -- was there ever a time in your life when you said something you didn't mean? When you sent an email you regretted? When you felt pressure to respond to someone's text or email? Some people have a perfect balance with their communication, but many do not. I applaud you if you are one of those few
Love this!!
Thanks!!
