LTAC Season 3, Episode 4 - The Power of Silence

I would love to hear from you ~ Lynne

Welcome to another episode of Let's Talk About Conflict, where we explore the essential skills for navigating challenging conversations and managing ourselves during difficult moments. This podcast is to help our listeners build skills which should help in managing themselves within a conflict—and maybe others!

I'm your host, Lynne Nash, and today we're exploring a powerful tool that's often overlooked in conflict resolution - silence.

Silence—can be incredibly powerful and holds a great amount of value in interactions. It's ironic that on a show about talking through conflict, we're focusing on the art of not speaking at all.

We'll dive into how strategic silence and genuine, active listening can transform heated moments, why our instinct to fill every pause might be sabotaging our negotiations, and how learning to embrace those quiet spaces can reveal solutions to conflict we might have otherwise missed.

Sometimes, the most impactful and useful thing we can say is nothing at all.
