Episode 14 - The Power of Holding Back: Let People Show You Who They Are!

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is back off. Allow a situation to breathe. Let people show you who they are and what they are willing and able to give.

In this episode, I explore the quiet strength of restraint. What happens when you stop micromanaging the moment? What shifts when you choose to observe instead of intervene? Drawing inspiration from Dag Hammarskjöld’s own ability to lead without dominating, I reflect on the art of holding space—of letting people show you who they are, without scripting the outcome.

This one’s for the overthinkers, the fixers, the perfectionists, the (recovering) Type As (like me), the ones who feel the weight of always having to manage the room. You don’t.

Tune in and exhale.
