Bring out the Best in Yourself and Others

What is something we could all do more of?

The ability to take a break and reflect. Pause is a card deck and book for anyone who wants to be more masterful, influential, and inspiring. The 52 simple practices and thought-provoking quotes invite you to slow down for a minute and gain a new perspective. The card deck is unique – easy to use, carry and shuffle for increased mastery in the moment. The book expands on the cards, describing each practice and giving an inquiry to open thinking.

Ways to Pause

Leaders ─ Keep the pause cards by your desk. When you feel stuck, pick a card then read the accompanying practice in the book. You’ll get insight that allows for both a new action and a new result.

Coaches ─ Bring the cards to your coaching. Let the client pick a card that resonates with what they are working on. Ask them the coaching question in the book. Watch as possibilities open.

Facilitators and Team Leaders ─ Start each meeting with a card. Ask everyone to think of a common goal. Then read the practice to get the conversation started in an positive direction.
