The Power of the Pause
[blockquote]
The “pause” is the most powerful communication tool, yet it is the one we use the least. Simply put, the “pause” is the few moments of silence between listening and talking. However, there is nothing simple about finding that time and using it to its fullest. During this session, we’ll dive in to the reason for the “pause”, learn how to find your “pause”, and give your “pause” the power to stop conflict in its tracks.
