Leadership Pause: How do I Recharge Myself?

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:

• What’s the story of this picture? What’s happening here?

• What might have happened 10 minutes before the image? 10 minutes after?

• What one element jumps out at me the most?

• If I were in this picture what/where would I be?

Personal Application

• What messages does the image offer me?

• How are my recharging practices similar/different from my colleagues?

• Is there something new I want to try to better recharge myself?

Focus on Action

• What’s one takeaway from this Leadership Pause?

• What’s an action I can take to recharge myself today?
