The Communication Mistake that all Pastors Make

When it comes to communication, most pastors would say that they are highly skilled in that area, yet being able to tell a powerful story is just the start.

An essential acronym for every pastor to remember is W.A.I.T. "Why am I talking?"

Those used to speaking frequently dominate conversations, assuming they're the main focus in every setting. However, in new environments, especially during career changes, it's important to recognize that you play a supporting role rather than the star.

When interviewing, the focus isn't on showcasing your talent but rather understanding the problems at hand and how you can contribute solutions.

I coach pastors on improving their presentation skills by emphasizing that less is more. A concise 40-second response, following a 10-second pause, is far more effective than two minutes of unclear speech.
