Leadership Pause: What's My Response to Unwelcome Changes?

Pause and Reflect

Leadership Pause is designed to give you a 10 minute break—a chance to open yourself to different perspectives and new ideas. Start by listening to some music while you breathe and clear your mind.

Expand My Perspective

Now focus on the image (play the music again if it helps). Let your mind wander as you think about these questions:

• Do you like the image?

• What shapes stick out to me in this image?

• What do you notice between the light parts and dark parts?

• What memories or emotions does it evoke in you?

• What do you think happened right before the image was captured? Right after?

Personal Application

• How does this image reflect my response to unwelcome changes?

• What might the varied shades(in the image represent to me?

• What learning is there for me?

Focus on Action

• What’s one takeaway from this Leadership Pause?

• What’s an action I can take to integrate it into my day?
