Strategic Silence: Learning to Bite Your Tongue when you should Be Listening

Description

Have you ever said something you instantly regretted?

We all have!

Whether it happens with work colleagues, friends, or family, we immediately get embarrassed when we wish we would have listened to understand instead of respond. Join #DrJListen, Laura Janusik, to learn about the Power of the Pause. It’s not quite as easy as just biting your tongue, but it’s a start. This session is participatory, but if you can’t participate in the Zoom rooms, still plan on attending so you can learn and practice after hours!

Join us to...

• Understand how staying silent is the first step in listening to understand
• Learn what happens in your mind and their mind when you use the Open Pause
• Practice the Open Pause in Zoom Rooms (not to worry if you can’t go into the zoom room…you can practice afterwards!)
