A dreaded long pause
A dreaded long pause
I have been living in Nashville for just over 2 years now and someone recently told me that a long silence is a ‘Nashville No’.
Why not simply say “No”? It is shorter, simpler and more respectful! You save yourself and the one looking for your response, time and energy.
The question is, why the silence?
If you need more time, say so!
If you need to pass, say so!
If you need more information, say so!
If it is a conditional yes, say so!
Indefinite silence makes things awkward and uncertain; it is not a recipe for progress!
