The Art of Timing in Conversations!! After over a decade working in journalism, advertising, and education, I’ve come to realize one thing: *timing is everything.* Whether I was crafting headlines for a newspaper, pitching an idea in a boardroom, or teaching a classroom full of curious minds, the way you deliver your message—and *when* you deliver it—can make all the difference. Think about the last time you were in a meeting where someone’s words hit just right. They didn’t rush. They didn’t overtalk. They paused in just the right places, and their points carried weight. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a skill. And it’s one anyone can master. Here’s what I’ve learned about the art of timing in conversations: 1. Silence is a Superpower Pausing can feel unnatural, but it’s one of the most powerful tools in communication. A well-placed pause shows you’re processing, not just reacting. It gives people a moment to reflect on what you’ve said and adds impact to your words. Next time you’re presenting a big idea or answering a tough question, try pausing for just a beat. You’ll be amazed at how it draws people in. 2. Listen to the Unspoken Body language is everything. Is someone leaning forward, opening their mouth slightly, or looking like they’re about to jump in? Step back and give them space. Letting others speak when they’re ready shows you value their input. It’s a small act that builds trust and makes collaboration easier. 3. Stop Interrupting I’ve been there—an idea pops into your head, and you’re dying to share it. But interrupting someone mid-sentence can make them feel undervalued. Let them finish. Then take your turn. This small shift can completely change how others perceive you. 4. Use Pauses to Build Credibility Ever noticed how some people seem calm under pressure? Often, it’s because they pause before speaking. Pausing before you respond to a tough question signals confidence and thoughtfulness. It shows you’re not just blurting out the first thing that comes to mind. 5. Know When to Step Up Sometimes, conversations stall or drift. That’s when you step in. Bring things back on track—gently but firmly. It’s not about dominating the room; it’s about steering the discussion toward clarity and purpose. Takeaway: Communication isn’t just about words—it’s about how and when you use them. Timing is what turns a good conversation into a great one. It shows emotional intelligence, strengthens connections, and leaves a lasting impression. Looking back at my career, I’ve seen this play out in so many ways. A perfectly timed pause in an editorial meeting could shift the entire conversation. Listening carefully to a hesitant student built trust and opened doors. Even in advertising, where every second counts, knowing when to stop talking could seal the deal. The art of timing isn’t just for the workplace—it’s a life skill. It’s how you build relationships, earn respect, & ensure your message lands.

4 Things to Overlook on a Former Journalist's Resume: 1. Short job tenures: It's common for journalists to have two year contracts. In order to move up in the industry, this calls for these individuals to change jobs and move frequently. Instead of focusing on the duration of employment, consider the skills they gained and contributions they made at each stop. 2. Job titles: These honestly don't matter. The title of their position does not fully capture a producer's responsibilities. My resume says "Multimedia Producer". This doesn't capture collaboration, project management, people management, editing, and printer troubleshooting skills (producers, you know what I'm talking about) that we bring to the table. 3. Gap in work experience: See # 1 in regards to short job tenures. Sometimes management decides to not renew a contract. Sometimes the employee decides to not reup. This can lead to gaps in work experience that are based solely in contract timing. For every hire, there's dozens of other people applying for that same job. In an industry as small as the television industry, that means all of those people are likely qualified. 4. Specific education experience: A degree in journalism or media can be beneficial, but successful producers (turned communications professionals) come from diverse educational backgrounds. Focus on skills and experience, not just formal education. #hiring #careerdevelopment #media #television

When evaluating a former journalist's resume, consider the industry norms that might look unusual elsewhere. Short job tenures, often reflect the contract-based nature of journalism especially in Kenya, where moving frequently supports career growth. Job titles are also less telling of the actual scope—producers/TV Directors often juggle multifaceted roles beyond what's listed. Gaps in employment may simply reflect contract timing, not a lack of ability or commitment. Lastly, I think employers need to stop overemphasizing on paper; most media trained professionals in Kenya have Diplomas from prestige colleges like Kenya Institute of Mass Communication that has trained majority of media professionals in Kenya.
