Welcome to our brand new Client Lessons series.

These are short sharp episodes where Paula Maidens draws on her client coaching calls each week to share a key lesson, learning or tip in a way that is quick and easy for you to digest.

Client Lesson Summary

The theme of this lesson is the importance of pausing and not reacting immediately to every urgent situation that arises. By finding the power of the pause, entrepreneurs and CEOs can make considered decisions and regain control of their time and priorities. 

The lesson provides strategies for determining the true urgency of a situation and resisting the urge to react immediately.

Key Takeaways 

  • Not everything that seems urgent actually requires immediate attention.
  • By pausing and assessing the true urgency of a situation, entrepreneurs and CEOs can make better decisions.
  • Most problems can solve themselves or be handled by someone else if given time.
  • Taking a pause allows the initial emotional impact of a situation to dissipate, leading to better clarity of thought.
  • By resisting the urge to react immediately, individuals can regain control of their time and priorities.
