The best ones use it deliberately. At this London Cardinals meeting, we put the pause front and centre. Speakers demonstrate what silence can do β€” the dramatic beat that lands a punchline, the moment of stillness that lets an idea breathe, the confident pause that says 'I'm not rushing for anyone.' Table Topics challenges everyone to speak more slowly and deliberately than feels comfortable β€” and discover that it's far more powerful. If you tend to rush, fill every gap with 'um', or race to the finish line, this is the evening that changes all of that. Sometimes the most important thing a speaker does is absolutely nothing at all.While Eventbrite limits tickets to 25, we can accommodate more attendees, so feel free to join us in person.Zoom Meeting Info:Meeting ID: 857 1117 7236Learn more about us by visiting our website: londoncardinals.orgClick here for Zoom Registration (Room opens at 6:30pm GMT)AgendaπŸ•‘: 06:30 PMDoors OpenInfo: Arrive early to mingle with members and guests.
