The Essentials of the Pause Counter
I have slightly modified the Pause Counter form to encourage identifying missed pauses and clarifying the types of pauses. The updated form is at https://bit.ly/pausecounterform
A more in-depth discussion and video can be found at https://davidhablewitz.com/2024/02/27/power-of-the-pause/
If your club uses easy-speak.org to assign meeting roles, you can add the Pause Counter to your agenda following the instructions found in my article on adding Pause Counter to EasySpeak.
Take a moment to post your comments about how you have implemented the Pause Counter in your Toastmasters club and share this article and the Pause Counter Form & Guide with Toastmasters in other clubs near you.
For more on the topic, you might see what Vinh Giang has to say about the pause: https://youtube.com/shorts/-Cl8uKG3PuY?si=1Y05V2jy32jQmGkD

HCL Support Forums have moved to new HCL Developer Community
HCL migrated the support forums from the old community where you also created support tickets, to the new website used for other community functions. All of the data has been brought over. You may need to create a new login if you haven’t already accessed the new website.
New site: https://developer.ds.hcl-software.com/
The Former site: https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=csm_index
You still visit this former site to create tickets with HCL technical support.
Don’t feel like you need to remember all of this? Just come here to my blog and click the Essential Notes/Domino Links link on the right-hand side or bookmark the short URL.
