Power-Pausing™

Harnessing the power of attention to build a connected culture where people engage with curiosity and care.

In a busy world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and stuck. It’s easy to focus on what’s not working, to feel like we are running in survival mode, to fix the urgent at the expense of the important. With stress like that distracting our attention
from what matters, it’s challenging to stay curious, aligned with our intention, and focused on cultivating the human connection that drives engagement and positive results.

But we can’t stop busy. However, we can learn to navigate the uncertainty and harness change –– without the worry that wears us out.

How? By “Power-Pausing”— creating the mental space that frees us to listen more deeply and engage more purposefully.

Our humanity is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, and when we pause to ask better questions, we facilitate growth on both personal and professional levels. By pausing together, we can build a connected Culture of Care® together. Imagine a culture of pausing; what could change, what could we achieve?

The Self-Care Mindset®

Unlocking performance from the inside out. 

The demands on us are increasing, and change is stressful, but how can we navigate daily challenges with intent and care instead of just continuing to push through and work harder?

Instead of allowing uncertainty to freeze us up or burn us out, how can we grow through adversity and harness change? And how do we do our best when time is limited and we’re exhausted?

The world has changed, work has changed, and we have changed, but our relationship with self-care—the very foundation of performance—has remained the same.

Not only that, what if we have self-care all wrong? What if self-care is not what we do after work to recover but rather a mindset we have with us all day long? What if self-care is how we support ourselves in spending time better?

The self-care mindset intersects emotional intelligence, mental agility, and our humanity to guide us. It’s the foundation for positive change and growth. It’s how we harness well-being and reclaim work-life quality to reach our goals without burning out.

The power of this kind of care is at the core of high-performing teams and a culture where people belong, engage, connect, and work better together.

That’s because the quality of our relationships is the quality of our culture. Using the four questions of The Self-Care Mindset framework, we can engage with more intention and care, building better relationships, starting with our relationship with ourselves.

We humans have a unique advantage that makes this kind of shift possible: we’re driven to care. It’s in our nature—we wouldn’t survive without it.

Care-Driven Leadership®

A sustainable approach to leading through change.

As a leader, navigating change can be daunting without a clear plan. The world is constantly changing, and it can be uncomfortable and uncertain. However, change is essential for growth, even though it can cause tension, stress, and conflict.

We need the right tools to face uncertainty and harness personal and professional growth to overcome these challenges.

Instead of trying to control, manage, and predict change, today’s leaders must learn to pause, listen, and ask better questions to support their team. We must focus on creating a culture of psychological safety where everyone knows they matter and feels supported.

Using the C.A.R.E. framework, we can build emotional agency and harness the stress of change with curiosity, acknowledgment, respect, and empathy.

The focus is on practical tools and strategies that leaders can use to guide themselves and their teams toward sustainable success during times of change. These techniques can be easily implemented and put into practice right away.

A Culture of Care®

Re-engaging a culture where people do work that matters. 

Life and work continue to speed up and demand more of us. Our attention is stretched and distracted, and engaging and staying focused on what matters is harder than ever. Our core human need to feel safe is challenged like never before because the future is uncertain, and change constantly challenges our sense of agency.

How can we develop strong, healthy relationships that foster an agile culture of change? This starts with our relationship with ourselves and extends to how we connect and engage with others. The quality of our relationships becomes the quality of our culture. By prioritizing our humanity at work, we can build a culture that reflects the values of care.

Imagine a culture where we take a moment to pause together and intentionally focus our attention. A culture where everyone is valued and cares about their work because they know it matters. A culture where we extend our care to those we serve and prioritize what truly matters.

We often assume that caring for people is our responsibility, but in reality, it means caring about them by asking them what they need to reclaim agency over their work and lives. This approach promotes diversity and inclusivity in the workplace and allows us to tap into our human advantage of connecting, communicating, and collaborating with intention, care, and purpose. A Culture of Care® prioritizes the overall well-being of all individuals involved.

You and your teams will learn how to pause, listen, ask better questions to be more aware, adaptable, and agile to grow through adversity together, building a culture where C.A.R.E. means Confidence, Agility, Resilience, and Equity.
