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

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.
