## Resource

Weak people talk too much. The strongest person in the room is often the calmest, not because of what they say, but because of what they choose not to say. Silence strips away the ability to perform, explain, or defend, which is why it makes people anxious. For those who can sit with it, silence becomes leverage, builds trust, and establishes presence without forcing anything.
