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 happening in this image?
What stands out to you?
What memories or emotions does it evoke in you?
If you were in this image, where would you be?

Personal Application

Where is “there” for me?
What might hold me back?
What would it look like to finally arrive “there?”
What message does this image hold for me?

Focus on Action

What’s one takeaway from this Leadership Pause?
What’s an action I can take to move myself closer to “there” than to “here?”
