If you are an ambitious woman who never stops to take a breath--today’s episode is for you. Today, my guest is Chris L. Johnson, a psychologist, mindfulness teacher, executive leadership coach, Master Somatic Coach, business owner, and author of The Leadership Pause.
Chris is a thought leader in the area of embodied learning and leadership, and she empowers us to develop a new way of working, a new way of being, a new way of doing business, and a new way to work with stress and anxiety. This new way all starts with a pause and Chris explains how our future success depends on our ability to pause.
One of the things I love about Chris is how she takes the ideas of mindfulness and taking a pause, and expands them in a way that is truly powerful--she goes beyond helping us find presence, to embodying that presence and using the pause to propel us forwards.
We chat about…
- The power of the pause
- How we can expand time
- What a “pause” really means and why we all need to embody pausing
- Why taking a pause is so important, especially as a leader
- Power stress and sacrifice syndrome
- How to turn high pressure moments into opportunities
- How to navigate the white waters of today’s chaotic world
- Why stress isn’t inherently bad + how to use it in productive ways
- The power of body-based practices, like Aikido martial arts, for managing anxiety
- How to take a pause to shift your perspective and make a plan of action, even in times of panic
- Shame and how it can lead to depression or anxiety
…and SO much more!
