When Can Moving Forward Mean Stopping to Take a Pause?

Whether you consider yourself to be an action taker or someone who tends to beat yourself up for not taking enough action, this episode is for you.

In this day and age, we tend to equate physical action with productivity and progress. However, we often find ourselves overwhelmed or feeling stuck which can lead to anxiety, self-doubt and even depression.

In this episode, my EPIC guest Jeffrey Williams and I talk about the critical (and often overlooked) role of the pauses between the notes — the times of positively focused self reflection and nonjudgmental ideation.

Just as the trajectory of the bow relies on the quality of the pullback, the results that we see in our lives both personally and professionally demand deliberate introspection before hitting “go”.

And yet, many of us have lost the ability to constructively reflect so what’s the answer?

Join us as we explore how we can tap into the superpower of reflection and even imagination to achieve more influence, impact and income.

And so much more!
