About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of pausing and reflecting in leadership to enhance effectiveness and purpose.

Leadership is lonely, and most leaders are too busy to admit it. Team coaches and supervisors, Larissa Thurlow and Traci Manalani, who create spaces for leaders from different organisations - not to learn content or receive advice - but simply to pause, reflect, and be heard without anyone expecting anything from them, offer a different perspective about leadership. When leaders slow down together, something shifts for them. They become clearer, calmer, more purposeful, and measurably better at their work. If you are a coach or leader or someone who suspects that doing more is not actually the answer, this conversation supports the idea that pausing improves our ability to be more effective and purposeful.
