Times are challenging. The pace, the pressure, the constant change can drain even the most seasoned professionals. You’re looking for practical ways to stay grounded and lead well.
Here’s what I know: even under the most challenging circumstances, we have the ability to choose how we respond. That’s our real superpower.
And it doesn’t require massive overhauls or hours of practice. Small steps add up to big shifts.
This exclusive session is designed for Launch Team Members where I’ll share key strategies and somatic practices from The Leadership Pause Book of Practices, plus insights into the bigger vision it serves.
“Pause is the portal to possibilities.”
– Chris L. Johnson, PsyD.
About This Work
I’ll draw from The Leadership Pause Book of Practices—a companion to The Leadership Pause: Sharpen Your Attention, Deepen Your Presence and Navigate the Future—and more than 30 years as a trauma-focused psychologist and leadership coach.
I’ve built a reputation for surfacing the hard things—the invisible patterns that either support or sabotage leadership. This training gives you practical tools you can use immediately. You’ll leave with practices you can start using right away with your teams.
Small shifts compound into transformation.
“Being great at our own game – whether it’s sports or leadership – is only possible when outside matches inside, when our actions are an authentic expression of who we are and what we’re feeling on the inside.” – Ginny Whitelaw, Author of Resonate
In this Training, You’ll . . .
✓ Harness the power of a simple pause to work with energy, not against it
✓ Discover how your brain and body are wired to react and resist change—and how to work with that, not against it
✓ Challenge internal resistance to change with practices that actually work
✓ Explore ways to introduce pause practices at work without it being woo woo or soft
✓ Experience pragmatic practices to engage with your team, creating steadiness even in unsteady times
“The whitewater of our daily lives tricks us into believing pause is not possible. Yet pausing is an indispensable requirement of leadership, a necessary precursor to wise and principled action.”
– Amanda Blake, PhD. Author of Your Body is Your Brain

Steady Leadership in Unsteady Times: Harness the Power of Pause
Live 60-Minute Masterclass happens on Tuesday, March 31st, at 12 noon CT
“There is nothing more empowering than practicing the discipline of pausing. We cannot shift our mindset from a focus on problems, and the reactivity they often trigger, to consciously choosing our response to life experiences and focusing on outcome without a pause practice.” – David Emerald, Author of Power of TED
Meet Your Host – Chris L. Johnson, PsyD.
With over 30 + years of experience and learning in human development, I’ve noticed a pattern. And it’s all about awareness and choice.
Intentional, steady leadership based on self-awareness and energy management makes for stronger more resilient individuals and organizations.
Leaders focused on how it’s always been done or who push past energy limits without a pause or renewal, miss opportunities to make their best contribution.
Sustainable performance requires the cultivation of the dynamic interplay between expending energy and renewing energy.
Simply put . . . if you want to grow your capacity as a leader you have to do these two things simultaneously.
- Extend beyond your ordinary limits to achieve something extraordinary.
- Seek recovery regularly.
- Be the steady.
And it all begins with a pause.
