Gina Phillips - The Power In The Pause

from The Lesley Hawkins Podcast · host Lesley Hawkins

Our guest built a career she loved, working freelance across entertainment, sports, and news media. Then the pandemic arrived. And like so many in her industry, everything went quiet overnight.So she did what felt natural. She went into hyper-drive. Lots of calls, emails. More and more outreach. Chasing every opening, knocking on every door.And every rejection hit harder than the last.So she made a decision that went against every instinct, and every piece of advice she had ever been given. She stopped. She calls it the anti-pivot. Less hustle, less noise, less chasing. And instead more focus on the pause.What she found in that stillness is still unfolding.This is a conversation about the courage it takes to sit with uncertainty and what opens up when you choose stillness over hustle. #pivotalmoment #stillness #humanconnectionSend us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become. Drawing on years of experience leading, guiding, and mentoring teams, Lesley brings authenticity, curiosity, and heart to the conversation as each interaction is an opportunity to define what truly matters.One question.
