Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode

“Early in my career, I thought leadership was about being decisive, acting fast, and always having the answer. But as I moved into more complex roles and worked with top executives, I realized that sometimes the best thing you can do as a leader is to stop, take a deep breath, and not react.”

“ I realized that my instinct to react, driven by stress and a need to be in control, especially under pressure and under [a] tight deadline, wasn’t just unproductive, it was undermining my ability to lead.”

“[Pausing] helps you and gives you time to invite collaboration. When you hold space for others to contribute, you build trust and engagement.”

“ When you pause, you give your brain time to shift from its reactive fight or flight mode to a more thoughtful and strategic state.”

“ The next time you’re in a tense situation, take a breath, pause, and ask yourself, how do I want to show up right now?”
