The Power of Quietness

Sally Kohn: I teach people how to quiet down enough to notice what's your self talk? What are your thoughts? What habituated thought processes do you jump into given certain stimuli, right? How can you conceptually and experientially create a space between what said or what's done around you. And in noticing those things, you reassure yourself and you are then able to say, okay, so now how do I want to choose to respond to the stimulus? She says we need reflection time; it needs to be built into all professional development,. she adds.
