Pause with Helen Young-McLaughlin

A Pause is a temporary stop in action or speech. The power of the pause may be the best strategy to have more thoughtful and impactful interactions. It's often counterintuitive (or uncomfortable), yet an essential leadership communication skill. "Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just stop and breathe." Brene Brown Helen Young-McLaughlin is CEO and founder of The Leverage Academy.

In her group program, The Leverage Academy, and through 1:1 coaching, Helen helps small and medium-sized businesses slash turnover, boost morale, improve relationships, and develop employees into productive (and happier) managers.
