Discover how to find out your accelerators and what’s holding you back.
As a team leader, business owner, a manager, or entrepreneur you are doing the best you can to lead. You are challenged by the everyday busyness, putting one fire out, and another ember starts and boom! Another fire needs to be put out. You have caught yourself feeling busier, overwhelmed, the emails keep piling up, you cant catch up. You are so caught up dealing with the day to day, minute by minute hassles that you know you are losing sight of the big picture. Sound familiar? So what do you do?
Well if you are like most people you probably cut out something you really need like sleep. There is another answer. And it flies in the face of conventional thinking. It is counter intuitive. You can even say paradoxical. The answer: Slow down to Speed Up.
I had a great conversation with @JohnRouda. We discussed how leaders can accelerate impact by effectively prioritizing, delegating, saying no to low-value or non-urgent requests, and more. In the podcast I covered a host of tools, techniques and tactics, including: creating agreement with those around you, taking a strategic pause, prioritizing lists of activities, delegation, me / not me list, reflection, pivot points, now/later/never, eliminating distractions, filtering your decisions, and ASAP – Accelerating Success Action Plan.
Strategic pauses help leaders get better results with fewer errors and less overwhelm.

Living for comfort is a mistake. Yes…if you seek comfort in all that you do, you will fail to grow and navigate the challenges of life. This interview is all about understanding your comfort zone and stepping outside that zone so that you grow. Dr. Liz Bywater is our guest who shares her views on the comfort zone.
In this podcast, Liz talks about the hazards of moving too fast and how a strategic pause can actually accelerate growth. She discusses why it’s as critical to identify what not to do, as it is to do more, and tells us the three ways executives and teams can protect their time in today’s crazy world.
