Kevin Cashman’s “The Pause Principle” was an eye- and heart-opening experience as it explores numerous opportunities and benefits to taking a step back, reflecting, gaining perspective and “leading forward” to support our own personal growth as leaders as well as those around us. As a Conversational IntelligenceTM coach I appreciated his attention on the neuroscientific insights and how our listening and questioning of others with genuine curiosity and generative intent helps us all grow to new levels of awareness, innovation, and partnership. A wonderful read and valuable guide for every leader’s journey to serve and succeed.
