Hybrid May Chapter Meeting - Develop Better Collaboration through Strategic Silence!

Develop Better Collaboration through Strategic Silence!

Program Description

Effective leaders collaborate, and people who collaborate more are viewed as leaders. The ability to collaborate requires leaders to encourage teamwork and respectful relationships. The best sign of a respectful relationship is getting all of the information out in the open so it can be discussed. In 1 on 1’s and in teams strategic silence can be used to gain more information and help the others come up with even better ideas. Join Dr. Laura Janusik to learn and practice some of the basic skills of strategic silence.

• Participants will discuss how silence can enhance relationships
• Participants will learn the research behind pauses in the US culture
• Participants will learn the Coaching Pause and practice it in 1:1s
• Participants will learn and practice strategies for brining strategic silence into a group
