Sue Kennedy and Catherine James Episode 103

In this episode of the Full of Words podcast, CJ and Sue welcome Pamela Dangelmaier, a life coach, motivational speaker, and TEDx speaker, to explore an often-overlooked but essential topic: the power of silence.

In a world filled with constant noise and distractions, Pamela shares how intentional silence can transform stress into clarity, improve communication, and foster creativity. She explains how mindful listening can enhance relationships and why pausing before responding leads to more thoughtful and effective conversations.

Pamela also shares her TEDx experience, where she boldly integrated ten seconds of complete silence into her talk—challenging the audience to reflect on the impact of quiet moments. She provides practical strategies for incorporating silence into daily life, from mindful morning routines to minimizing digital noise.

Whether you're a business leader, creative professional, or someone looking to bring more mindfulness into your routine, this episode offers valuable insights into the role of silence in personal and professional growth.
