Toxic cultures come from lack of self-awareness and respect for other people.

Without pausing, we get stuck constantly working to catch up to the speed of change and get caught not being ready when innovation comes knocking.

You can pause and choose where you put your attention. That's why Power-Pausing is so powerful.

It's easy to get stuck in the "I don't feel like it" mindset when every day can feel more like another battle to fight rather than work being a place where we do our best work solving problems that matter.

We need to rethink is time management, because change tends to feel like doing more and running faster. Instead, it's about pausing to harness our attention and ask questions that get us unstuck.

Productivity is not a hack; it’s not about doing more with less time. Think of productivity as a support system that creates the basis for a fast response.

The rethink about productivity is that we think it's about faster action, when really it’s about reflection before engagement and mindful choice before action.
