E8 The Power of Pause

In this episode, Jonna and Simone explore the pause as a powerful leadership tool. The "pause" in leadership is a moment of intentional stillness supports clarity, presence, and more thoughtful decision-making. They discuss how pausing in conversation can sift communication from reactive to reflective, allowing space for others to feel seen and heard.

They also share how silence strengthens emotional intelligence and contributes to a leader's presence. This is not presented as a tactic but rather as a meaningful practice to lead with greater focus.
