There’s tension in silence, but so much to learn. This week Leigh Marz and Justin Zorn share why we feel the need to fill the silence and how to create better communication by speaking less and listening more. Join Laura, Leigh, and Justin as they discuss the impact of taking time to create space in conversations, meetings, and daily life.

Here are a few things you’ll learn during this conversation:
How to keep yourself from filling the silence in conversation
Why silence helps you discern your thoughts
How to view silence as a source of renewal
Why a moment of silence feels like an eternity
What you can do to create space to process silence in your daily life
