Description🎙️ Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Career Change Maker Podcast, I explore The Power of the Pause and why slowing down is one of the most underrated productivity tools for leaders.I share a client story that highlights how stepping back can create space for clarity and momentum, and I open up about my own season of recovery where I’ve experienced first-hand the benefits of slowing all the way down as a business leader and mum.I also reflect on a recent girls’ trip that became a surprising leadership lesson in the value of fun, environment shifts, and surrounding yourself with the right people. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ A Pause is a Strategy, Not a Setback: Why intentional breaks can actually move you forward faster.✅ Leadership Lessons From Stepping Away: How my girls’ trip highlighted the power of fun, environment, and connection.✅ Clarity Comes in the Quiet: Why the best decisions often come when you stop forcing them.Action Steps:💡 Identify one area of your work or life where taking a pause could bring more clarity.💡 Schedule a micro-pause (daily) or macro-pause (quarterly) to reset and refocus.💡 Reflect on who you are surrounding yourself with and whether they energise or drain you.Resources:<ul><li><a href='https://www.janineesbrand.com/coaching'>Work with Janine</a></li><li><a href='https://careerchangemakers.com/'>Career Change Maker Website</a></li><li>Join the <a href='https://janineesbrand.substack.com/'>Career Navigator </a>weekly email series</li><li>Follow Janine Esbrand on Instagram</li><li>Connect with Janine Esbrand on LinkedIn</li><li>Subscribe to Janine Esbrand's YouTube Channel</li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/895381/open_sms">Send us a text</a>
