In this first-ever episode, Bastian Overgaard teaches us about co-created silence and how we can use it to be more productive in business and allow more people to engage. We learn it is not just sitting quietly in a meeting, it is about internal being silent to give yourself and your team time to process and so much more. We explore how we can bring this to more companies and the benefits it can bring.
