The Strength of Silence
In a world where our lives are constantly pierced by pings, podcasts and phones ...
Where did the silence go?
In this thoughtful keynote talk, Stephanie peels away the layers of modern life to look at the history of silence and examines how we have pushed it to the periphery of our lives.
She asks:
What if we didn’t see silence as empty, but full of possibility?
What if we deliberately chose to bring the silence back?
What if choosing silence could change our thinking and strengthen our interactionns with each other?
