When emotions surge, leaders choose stillness. In this episode, Amy explores the pause as a practical leadership skill for life — the quiet space where reaction becomes response and composure replaces impulse. You’ll learn how to separate human feelings from your leadership voice, use breath to reset in the moment, and decide when the pause needs to be seconds or days. Amy shares real meeting scenarios, language you can borrow on the spot, and a simple two-column mental model to sort emotion from intention so you keep the room steady, protect the agenda, and strengthen credibility. 

Challenge for the week: notice one moment you could have paused and one moment you did -  and reflect on the difference it made.
