Is Silence Golden?
March 13, 2012
If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

- Remaining silent in the face of conflict can generate feelings of humiliation, anger, and resentment that can devolve into a "spiral of silence," which exacts a high cost from individuals and their organizations.
- To avoid descending the spiral, employees need to find the courage to act deviantly and bring differences out in the open; leaders must be careful not to punish anyone — whether explicitly or implicitly — for speaking out; and organizations must not reinforce the idea that toeing the line is the safest way to keep your job and further your career.
- Replacing the spiral of silence with a virtuous spiral of communication will help bring fresh ideas to light, ensure that alternative courses of action are explored, and allow the free exchange of information that could enhance both the individual's and the organization's work.

These are not your typical training DVDs. No scripts. No staged events. Imagine sitting down for a one-on-one conversation with some of the leaders in the field of early care and education. Imagine them presenting at your next class, staff development, or training session. This is the concept behind Voices on DVD.
This powerful series of DVDs offers you practical ideas and experienced insights from seasoned professionals who speak with the passion and perspective that can only come from years of working with directors, teachers, young children, and their families. Interlaced with real-life classroom video, they provide a rich platform for staff development and training sessions that will inspire, motivate, teach, provoke new thinking, and generate lively discussions.
