Do you find yourself talking too much in meetings—filling every pause, rushing to explain your ideas, or trying to convince clients to come to an agreement, only to lose their attention? What if the secret to stronger connections and better outcomes was simply … saying less?

In this transformative workshop, business consultant Jody Seivert shows you how to use silence as a strategic tool in your business dealings. You’ll discover the key moments in the sales process where a purposeful pause can build trust, shift the energy of the dialogue, and create space for clients to lean in and engage. She’ll also equip you with a practical action plan so you can start applying this technique right away. You’ll leave with the confidence to guide conversations more effectively—and the ability to let silence do the heavy lifting.

In this class, attendees will learn how to:

• Recognize the impact and strategic power of silence in communication
• Identify common challenges to being comfortable with stillness and silence—and how to overcome them
• Connect real client scenarios to effective communication strategies that build trust and improve outcomes

After this class, attendees will have:

• A clear understanding of how to develop flexibility in professional relationships
• The mindset to maintain emotional objectivity—about your own behavior and the behavior of others
• Greater awareness of how to anticipate reactions, avoid triggers and foster compassion when working with all types of people
